The salutatorian of Robinson’s traditional program has a interesting story. Kenzie Hatton (’19) shares the title with her twin sister, Macy as they both took the same courses and ended up with the same GPA’s. Hatton has continued to strengthen her schedule and motivate herself, not with salutatorian as the end goal, but to improve her chances for the future.
