What is it in percentage of the entire class?

For Holton Arms, it’s 12 percent of graduating class. Don’t know about the other schools.

Holton is doing well this year!

Yes, last year they had 5 semifinalists. To go to 12 this year is quite a jump!

This year is definitely an exception. The usual number for Holton is 4-5 per year.
