In a heartfelt address, the speaker highlighted how this graduating class faced unprecedented challenges, including a new schedule, community lunches, and significant construction on athletic fields.

"Change has been a constant thread in the story of the class of 2025," the speaker noted, emphasizing that rather than resisting these shifts, students chose to innovate and create new traditions. They reached out to their peers, advocated for more senior tables, and transformed obstacles into opportunities, showcasing their commitment to community and collaboration.
