Joining the LVHS seniors are Scott and Susan Hert, Superintendent Peter Livingston, School Board President (and event creator) Jessica Risler, Co-Principal Kelly Boeing, and Assistant Superintendent/Co-Principal Nate Lambdin.
As seniors in the Class of 2022 enjoy their last days at Lucerne Valley High School, they are reminded that there are others who support them today and beyond. On Thursday, May 19, the students gathered to receive their personalized gift baskets, which were made possible by community members who assembled special gifts for each.
Topping off the special event, which is the brainchild of Jessica Risler, the president of the Lucerne Valley USD’s Board of Trustees, was another gift basket put together by local businessman Scott Hert and his wife Susan. Among the Herts’ gifts were Class of 2022 T-shirts and $100 for each graduate. After receiving the gifts, each student wrote thank you notes to their donors.
Scott Hert shared his family’s rags-to-riches business story of how his father started with nothing and through determination and hard work built S.S. Hert Trucking into a thriving, successful business that employees 50 with locations in several states. He encouraged all students to maintain a positive mindset and they too can find success in life.
