n education is a developmental foundation. A high school diploma can be a launching pad for colleges and universities, technical or trade schools and the military. But a scholastic education can also lay the groundwork for careers, healthy relationships and prosperous lives. “I think education is the hub of our community and of all communities,” said Kristy Szobocsan, who’s been Warwick High School’s principal for nine years. “A school is a place where we can provide not just education, but safety, food and clothing. I tell kids all the time that that diploma is more than a piece of paper. It can open every door in life.” During two evening hours of June 10, at Calvary Church in Manheim Township, the Warwick School District formally introduced 338
playing of “Pomp and Circumstance,” Kristy spoke to the students and the audience from the heart. That was followed by senior Zoe Wiker and her speech “Don’t Stop Believing” and senior Gannon

Kelly Gutshall works for you. The work she performs is not free, but it is inexpensive and invaluable. There are those who would argue that the work of a township supervisor is a bargain at any price. “I look at it as an opportunity to give back to a community that has given so much to us,” said Kelly, who’s been a Warwick Township supervisor for six years. “We are very fortunate because the township has a really

They make it easy.” Kelly is one of five members of the Warwick Township Board of Supervisors. As a supervisor, Kelly is a public official who is elected, serves terms of six years and is compensated for her time and energy. Kelly and Warwick Township’s other supervisors meet as a board twice a month, virtually at 7 a.m. on the first Wednesday Members of Warwick Township’s Board of Supervisors (from left) Jeremy Strathmeyer, Kenneth Kauffman,

prepared young people to the world during its annual commencement exercise. The night was filled with a range of emotions, including joy, sorrow, thankfulness, excitement and expectations. An evening earlier, on June 9, the Warwick School District conducted its annual baccalaureate ceremony at Lancaster Evangelical Free Church. “This class was hardworking,” said Kristy. “There were musicians and artists. They were patient and flexible, which will be required for many things in their lives moving forward. I told them, ‘My challenge to you is to keep building and to be the architects of your own future.’ I ended my remarks by telling them I love them.” That Tuesday’s commencement ceremony began with some social time for the students in Calvary Church’s gymnasium.
