The Class of 2025 includes Carter Lee Adkins, Esther Shalom Ball, Evan Scott Carroll, Malachi Lee Keim and Ashlynn Elizabeth Knepshield.
Knepshield delivered the salutatorian address and Ball gave the valedictorian speech. Knepshield and Carroll also performed a duet of the song Peace.
Pastor Robert J. Kurtz, the school’s administrator, gave the commencement address, titled “8 Helpful Things,” which offered a mix of biblical teaching and practical advice for the graduates as they prepare for life beyond high school.
The class chose burgundy and medium blue as their colors and selected Ephesians 3:20 as their guiding verse.
With support from class advisor Jenessa Jorgensen, the seniors closed out their high school journey surrounded by supportive family and community.
