Congratulations to the Klamath Learning Center Class of 2024! Over 60 KLC students walked across the stage to receive their high school diploma during Saturday's graduation.
Susan Holzgang, KLC registrar, was the ceremony's guest speaker and shared her thoughts over the years after having worked at the school for over 20 years and will be retiring this year.
Holzgang found her home at KLC after her and her husband, who's hometown is in Klamath Falls, moved back to the Klamath Basin in 1990.
Holzgang and her husband then raised their three children, who all graduated from Klamath Union High School. In 1998, Holzgang earned her substitute teaching license and became a substitute teacher for Klamath Falls City Schools.
In 2004, she joined Klamath Adult Learning Center and took on various roles, including head secretary, high school and adult GED teacher and homeschool coordinator.
In 2016, Klamath Adult Learning Center turned its adult program over to Klamath Community College and Holzgang became the KLC registrar.
"High school graduation is considered as one of the major milestones in life. When KCC began to grow and expand, the adult programs moved to the KCC campus. KALC and Klamath Institute became KLC, the school we know today. I was here for most of this evolution and have had the privilege to help it grow and discover what it is really good at - partnering with students in their educational success," Holzgang said.
"To our graduates, you have earned this, enjoy and thanks for letting me be part of your journey."
