Selecting students for the Morgan Hill Times' annual senior spotlight honor is no enviable task. That's why we make the principals do it (and they resent us for making them narrow it down to one!)

We celebrate them, their families, their mentors and all the graduating seniors in the Class of 2013 for their accomplishments and wish them the best of luck and a fulfilling future.
