Students recognized for completing religious education program

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Greenville honored nearly a dozen students during a seminary graduation ceremony in June.

In addition to balancing a typical high schooler’s day of homework, athletics, clubs, hobbies and work, 10 graduating seniors made a commitment to attend an early morning seminary program.

Seminary is a four-year religious educational program open to high schoolers. Every morning before school, students and their teachers gather from 6 to 7 a.m. to study the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon and church history.

The following students completed four years of study and passed all graduation requirements: Baker Brimhall, Ammon McIntyre, Emily Moss, Shon Robinson and Lauryn Taylor of Greenville; Katelyn Braswell and Gilberto Enman Ambriz of Kinston; Wade Coffield of Rocky Mount; and Cambrie Lee and Payton Holland of Wilson.
