Keith and Lori Rhodes, graduated from Haughton High School today as class valedictorian (Is anyone surprised?  I’m not!) and will be attending NSU is Natchitoches in the fall on a full scholarship majoring in music education and hoping to march in the band playing snare drum.  Thank God for the amazing young man he has always been and pray for him as he goes to the next phase of his education.
