An all-state pianist, Jordan said many of his school highlights came in the music department. “We had two concerts every year, and it was always exciting to see the community come out to support us,” he said. He also enjoyed being a member of the tennis team because it provided a break
from academics and a chance to bond with teammates. One of his favorite memories is the homecoming skits last fall. “Our pep rallies are always loud, of course, but they’re pretty nice to end the day because everyone loves having less class,” he said.

Good is universal, timeless and objective. Because it mirrors God, good is good. The Lancaster County Women for Good (LCWG) group knows some things about the concept of doing good. It’s part of the all-volunteer organization’s mission, purpose and reason for existing. “ We use that word a lot, ‘good,’” said Anna Horst, the chairperson of the five-member board that oversees LCWG’s

Valedictorian Jordan Chen, salutatorian Tyler Hudson, and Katie Eberts, who was ranked third in the class, shared the spotlight. Hailey Frey, who is involved with a variety of school activities including Mini-THON, was given the honor of opening the ceremony. “I’m very proud of the four of these students, but I’m also proud of their 450 classmates,” Penn Manor principal Douglas Eby said. “We have challenged them to seize the opportunities Penn Manor offers.
