Keller Collegiate Academy held its inaugural commencement ceremony for the class of 2025, featuring student speakers, academic honors and formal recognition of faculty, staff and military servicemembers.
Principal Tracy Arsenault opened the ceremony, introduced herself as KCA’s principal and framed the evening as a celebration of the school’s founding class. She invited attendees to stand for a color presentation by the Keller ISD Air Force Junior ROTC and for the Pledge of Allegiance and Texas Pledge led by senior class president Bianca Alonzo. Graduating senior Thala Soudad sang the national anthem.
Salutatorian Harrison Wynne congratulated classmates, recalled moments from the school’s first four years and thanked family and staff. Arsenault then announced the academic top 10, naming students and noting intended colleges when provided (examples included Hayden Bray planning to attend Texas Christian University and Ananya Pradeep attending the University of Texas at Austin).
Valedictorian Ananya Pradeep reflected on perseverance and consistent effort, thanked teachers, family and peers by name, and urged classmates to keep striving as they begin the next chapter. Principal Arsenault formally presented the class as having met state and local requirements to participate in the ceremony and invited Daniel Nelson to read graduates’ names as they processed across the stage.
Student body president Bailey White led the tassel-turning ritual; Arsenault closed by thanking attendees in person and on the livestream and announcing the conclusion of the evening.
