FINLEY, N.D. (Valley News Live) – Sunday, May 25, marked an unusual graduation at Finley-Sharon Public School, featuring only one graduate: Bryson Kirk. The high school senior expressed his appreciation for the small classroom environment, reflecting, "It’s kind of cool. I like the small classroom size." Bryson, who collaborated with younger students throughout his education, has been supported by his mother, Penny Kirk. She remarked, "It was just obvious he would go to school here," and added, "I’m proud that he’s the only one."
