Ridgeline High School graduates and their families gathered for the Class of 2025 commencement, where the Cache County Board of Education formally accepted candidates for graduation and diplomas were presented.
The ceremony, led by school officials and student speakers, recognized academic and extracurricular achievements and named scholarship recipients.
