Supportive parents were the driving force behind the top of Andalusia High School’s Class of 2013.
Valedictorian Alex Evans graduated last night with a 4.0 GPA.
He has been a member of the National Honor Society, was a summa cum laude graduate, member of the tennis team, and won the Jerri Stroud Award.
