MECHANIC FALLS — Twelve Regional School Unit 16 Adult Education students were honored at a graduation ceremony June 10 in the Elm Street School gymnasium.

Teacher Susan Lasselle credited graduates with the ability to take the school situations or life situations that didn’t allow them to obtain a traditional high school diploma and rise above them. She encouraged students to remember the individual lessons they have learned about themselves during their time in adult education, “because what you have learned about yourself is more important than anything you can learn in a book,” according to a news release from RSU 16.
