East High issues honorary diploma in memory of Caitlin Marie Fansler

At East High School's commencement for the Class of 2025, an event announcer declared, "At this time, we are issuing an honorary diploma in memorial of Caitlin Marie Fansler." The announcement appears in the official ceremony transcript and was made as the ceremony proceeded to confer diplomas.

The announcement was delivered by an event announcer representing East High School and Laramie County School District #1; the transcript does not record further remarks about the reason for the honorary diploma or any recipient family statements. No formal board motion or vote is recorded in the transcript for this item.

Honorary diplomas are typically given to recognize students posthumously or under special circumstances; the transcript for this ceremony limits the record to the single announcement. The commencement continued after the announcement with the presentation of graduates' names and the remainder of the ceremony.

The transcript does not specify whether the honorary diploma was accepted by a family member onstage, nor does it provide details about any future memorial events or administrative follow-up.
