The school hosted its annual Athletic Banquet, but that came after an assembly to recognize the achievements of many performers in the various sports at the school. “This is a highlight,” Physical Education Head John Horton declared at the assembly. “Tonight is about the young people before us.” He added it was about acknowledging the experiences and accomplishments over the year. He pointed out Mayfield achieves, “year after year after year.” He also praised his fellow teachers in the department. “You are absolutely incredible,” he declared. He also had compliments for the athletes themselves, “some of the finest individuals in this building.” Horton also had words for the athletes who are graduating. “It's been a terrific four years having you in this school,” he said. “You have made a wonderful contribution to our school. Make your best years yet to come.” When it came time to present the major awards, Michael Straughan received the Spirit Award, Kaitlyn Walsh got the Merit Award, Hannah Portch was presented with the R.C. Honey Award, Katya Dondi was named Junior Girls' Athlete of the Year, John Milkovich was Junior Boys' Athlete of the year, Bryn Ferris was Senior Girls' Athlete of the year and James Cromack was Senior Boys' Athlete of the Year.
