Sagamore of the Wabash

 

Last week, Perry Central was had the honor of hosting Ray Niehaus' surprise ceremony as the state of Indiana presented him with the Sagamore of the Wabash.  This is a very prestigious award as it is given by the Governor of Indiana.  

Many of you know Ray, as he is an alumni of Perry Central.  Ray doesn't know a stranger, is never lost for words or ideas and brings a  unique perspective to the table as he always shoots for the moon knowing that he will always land among the stars.  He isn't afraid of failure and his ability to always believe he will be successful allows him to be.  

Like all of you, he has influenced many students across the state of Indiana.  He has a passion for youth, workforce development and entrepreneurship.  We are blessed to call him a mentor to Perry Central and a friend.  

Inside Indiana Business covered the ceremony.  You can find a copy of it below.  There is a very special video attached to the article that has some of our students in it.  I think you will enjoy it!
