We've had to replace two or three uh pumps at the beginning of that plant to the cost of about 40,000 apiece just about every year. First up. MCC graduate Casey Frank set the stage with a terrific national anthem solo as graduates, their families, friends, and college employees celebrate the class of 2023. More than 600 graduates earned degrees and certificates this year. The commencement ceremony at the Anderson Field House was filled with cheers and tears as everyone recognized the memorable moment marking a major life accomplishment. You have challenged yourself and found success. Continue to challenge yourself and find ways you can give back to your community. And as always, remember you are Bighorns. Thank you all for being here today to celebrate this special occasion. Let's go have some fun. Congratulations, graduates. Congratulations also went out to Adam Romano.

People with a variety of special skills were able to show them off, and proceeds from this event helped benefit the Mojave County Animal Shelter.

The College Bighorn Science Club held a science fair. Community members were able to learn all about telescopes, see robots built with Legos, and much more to help boost the interest in the field of science. A terrific time at the very entertaining dueling pianos event. The student activities council brought the duo to the Kingman campus from Phoenix.
