Delta High presents Class of 2025; three districts certify graduates
Delta High School held its Class of 2025 commencement, where student speakers delivered remarks about perseverance and future plans and representatives from the Pasco, Richland and Kennewick school districts formally presented their graduates.

The ceremony included speeches by student speakers and an honored faculty speaker. Adam Martinez, the gold-level student speaker, urged graduates to "think differently," encouraging risk-taking and resilience as they move into college or careers. Honored faculty speaker John Keeney advised graduates to "show up five minutes early every day" and closed with the motto he said the class had coined: "Don't be sorry. Be better." Elijah Renaga, a class-selected student speaker, thanked family and faith and said he planned to join the IBEW apprenticeship program after graduation. Calvin Sump, a silver-level speaker, said he will attend Washington State University Tri-Cities to study electrical engineering.

Casey Binion, principal of Delta High School, introduced student recognitions and noted several student accomplishments presented during the ceremony. He said Isabel Melindres organized Delta's Key Club blood drives (capturing 175 pints during her time at the school) and earned 65 college credits through College in the High School classes; Melindres is scheduled to enroll at Columbia Basin College in project management. Binion also highlighted Talia Eyre's coursework and said she plans to attend Washington State University to study math education. Binion recognized a volunteer, identified as Tiff, who has supported the school's robotics program since 2015.

Representatives from the three sending districts — Pasco, Richland and Kennewick — presented their students. District officials told the audience that the students had met the graduation requirements and standards set by their respective district boards and the state of Washington and formally presented the graduates from each district.

The ceremony also included the reading of graduate names from the Pasco, Richland and Kennewick lists and a recessional. Principal Binion encouraged graduates to proceed through the aisles after the presentation to meet family and guests in the foyer.

The transcript does not specify the ceremony date or the total number of graduates from each district. The principal stated that "there's 26 of them" in reference to students who will enlist in the U.S. military; that number was presented verbally in the ceremony but is not broken out by district in the transcript.
