Student’s Military Dad Couldn’t Make It to Her Grad Then the MC Makes an Unexpected Announcement
A high schoolgraduation ceremony was made even more memorable for an Ohio student when someone unexpected showed up for her big moment.
At first, Grace Macke didn’t have high hopes that her dad, Air Force master sergeant Drew Macke, who was deployed in the Middle East, would make it home for her big day.
The ceremony took place on May 16 at Cincinnati’s Xaviers Cintas Center.
During the ceremony, the Kings High School MC played along with the ruse.
“Her dad deployed early in the school year and she has not seen him since,” the MC began. “There was hope that he would be able to return for graduation, but it did not work out.”

Two high school seniors have become the first queer couple in their Ohio school district to win prom king and queen.
Annie Wise and Riley Loudermilk, seniors at Kings High School in Kings Mill, have known each other since the third grade but began dating six months ago.
The couple told NBC News that they were aware that friends planned to vote for them for prom court, but neither Wise nor Loudermilk expected to win.
