The Brighton High School graduation ceremony for the class of 2025 took place on May 30, 2025, celebrating the achievements of students who navigated significant challenges during their high school years. Principal Marielle Raul commended the graduates for their resilience and adaptability, highlighting how they overcame the difficulties posed by the global pandemic and embraced new learning methods.

In her address, Principal Raul emphasized the importance of the graduates' journey, stating, "You discovered something powerful... that many of the limits we perceive are just illusions waiting for us to overcome." She expressed pride in the students, noting their readiness to lead and contribute to society as they transition into various paths, including college, careers, and service.

The graduation ceremony not only marked the end of an era for the students but also served as a reminder of their potential and the support they received from family, friends, and educators throughout their journey. As they step into the future, the graduates are encouraged to embrace their unique gifts and make a positive impact in the world.
