Local high schools students wrote, filmed and acted (hilariously) in this video. They know what it's like to be in your shoes.

  • Graduate from a Stark County high school; be a Stark County resident who was eligible to graduate from a Stark County high school but chose to attend and graduate out of county; have earned a diploma from the ABC (A Better Chance) program; or a Stark County resident who was home schooled.
