EDWARDSVILLE - Edwardsville High School said goodbye to a large group of seniors at Saturday’s commencement. The class was described as one that persevered through a lot of adversity during the COVID era and then eventually return to normalcy. The Class of 2023 was commended by Superintendent Dr. Patrick Shelton and Principal Dr. Steve Stuart for their ability to adapt during the COVID-19 Pandemic. "I am extremely proud of what this class has accomplished," Dr. Stuart said of the senior class. "As seniors, they set the tone to bring EHS back to the pre-COVID life they knew that first semester of their ninth-grade year. "They have set the bar high for the classes that follow, but also spent the time to mentor those younger students to understand what it means to be a Tiger. I hope for only the best for our graduating class and know they will be successful in whatever endeavor they choose to pursue." Edwardsville School District Board of 7 President Jill Bertels welcomed everyone

Meanwhile, the attorney general’s office contends it was simply exercising its authority under state law when it refused to sign off on a fiscal note summary crafted by the auditor that said the abortion-rights initiative petition would have no cost to state or local government.
