Brookville High School held commencement exercises for the Class of 2025, where school speakers pronounced graduates and outlined postgraduation plans, including figures for how many students intend to attend four-year and two-year colleges, enter the workforce, join trade schools or the military.

The principal of Brookville High School said 98 students planned to attend four-year colleges, 75 planned to attend two-year colleges, 59 intended to enter the workforce, 12 planned to attend trade school and seven intended to join the military. The principal added that graduates were asked to move to the concourse to meet family members after the ceremony.

Class President James Edward Sales III opened the student speeches by reflecting on the class's shared experiences and the work that led to graduation. "We made it," Sales said, summarizing the class's view of their journey.

Salutatorian Katie Elizabeth Adamczak urged classmates to carry lessons from childhood stories into adulthood and to remain curious. Valedictorian Josiah Jabari Cantrell reflected on communication and responsibility, saying, "The gift of speech is both a blessing and an immense responsibility." Cantrell also stated that 273 students were graduating this year and described the class as the largest in the school's 100-year history.

School and district officials on stage included members of the Campbell County School Board and school counseling staff who were recognized during the program. Amy Sawyer, a school counselor, read the names of the candidates for graduation while other staff and board members were acknowledged on stage.

A school official, citing authority from the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Virginia Department of Education and the Campbell County School Board, pronounced the candidates as graduates and instructed them to move their tassels from right to left; graduates were then directed to the concourse to meet families.

The ceremony combined formal recognition of academic honors — including named salutatorian and valedictorian addresses — with remarks from student leaders and school administrators about community, resilience and next steps for members of the Class of 2025.
