Graduation of the Class of 2026
Posted Date: 06/16/26 (09:37 AM)
The 2026 graduation was a beautiful celebration of the accomplishments and character of this year's senior class. Speakers included Hunter Simmons (Valedictorian) , Oliver Hopkins (Salutatorian) , Keigan Leaf (ASB/Class President), and Miley Winn (Class Vice President).
The 2026 senior class chose Math teacher Jim Weller as their staff speaker. Weller highlighted the varied goals and abilities of each of the nineteen students, and praised the community for its role in supporting these young people on their life journeys.
Additional support for this year's graduation came from senior parents Shalae Cate who provided and assembled the balloon arch for the ceremony, and Alysha Evans who provided the "purple and gold" daisies which seniors handed out to friends and family members.
Ultimately, the weather outside held and after throwing their caps and walking out of the gym to Bryan Adams' The Summer of '69 the 2026 seniors met in the courtyard for photos, exchanging hugs, high-fiving, and shaking hands with fellow graduates, friends and family. There were many smiles and tears for an overall wonderful graduation experience.
