Echo SD 5 moves 2025 graduation to May 31 after parent survey
Summary
Board approved changing the 2025 graduation to May 31 at 10 a.m. after surveying parents and identifying calendar conflicts with state championships.
The board voted to change Echo SD 5's 2025 graduation to May 31, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., after the superintendent said the date was chosen as a compromise based on a parent survey and scheduling conflicts with state championships. "So the middle ground of families ... a lot of men already made some plans," the superintendent said, explaining the rationale for the Saturday date.
Board members discussed whether to revisit the timing of future graduations (weekend vs. weekday evening) when the 2025–26 calendar is presented next month. The motion passed by voice vote and the district said it will include graduation timing on a future agenda to decide a long-term approach.
