Lewisburg Area School District certifies 147 graduates at commencement ceremony
Summary
Superintendent Kathy Moser certified that 147 seniors have met Pennsylvania graduation requirements and conferred diplomas during the Lewisburg Area High School commencement at Bucknell University.
Superintendent Kathy Moser certified that 147 members of Lewisburg Area High School’s Class of 2025 met Pennsylvania graduation requirements and conferred diplomas during the school’s commencement ceremony at Bucknell University. "By the authority vested in me in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as the superintendent of schools, it is my honor and professional privilege to certify that you have met all requirements for graduation from the Lewisburg Area School District," Moser said.
The certification was announced near the close of the ceremony after Assistant Superintendent Vince Hoover presented the class. "It is a great honor to stand before you tonight to present the class of 2025," Hoover said before Moser’s formal statement. The superintendent told graduates they may move their tassels from right to left to signify graduation.
Why this matters: the superintendent’s certification is the formal declaration that students have satisfied state and district requirements and are entitled to diplomas. The ceremony noted that the class met requirements "as outlined in PA school code and the Lewisburg Area School District guidelines." The announcement also served as the formal district acknowledgment that diplomas are earned and may be issued.
Details and context: the ceremony identified 147 seniors as meeting all requirements for high school graduation. The event included presentations, student speakers, musical performances by the Lewisburg orchestra and high school musicians, and the customary tassel movement to mark conferral of degrees. The venue was Bucknell University, which district staff thanked for hosting the event.
Procedure and limits: the certification was a superintendent action made during a public commencement event; there was no recorded vote or board motion reported during the ceremony. The transcript identifies the legal basis as the "PA school code" and the district’s graduation guidelines; no specific statutory citation or board resolution number was provided during the remarks.
What to watch next: the ceremony formally ends the district’s verification that these students have earned diplomas; any further administrative follow-up (such as mailing diplomas or posting official transcripts) was not described during the remarks.
