OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The first class of seniors from an eastern Nebraska school will graduate this month.

Six students of Cornerstone Christian School in Bellevue will graduate May 24.

The school, which was started in 1984, isn’t tied to a specific church — its staff and students represent more than 65 churches in the area. The school expanded from its K-8 roots by adding a freshman class in 2011.

The senior class compares their experience with being the oldest child in the family. One of the graduates, Marcus Hilding, joked that their class is the “guinea pig” and the ones who set examples for students in lower grades.

Last weekend, the school held its first prom.
