While at the Orpheum, the students took part in the taping of specially produced senior salutes that will air on KCAU 9 over the coming weeks. They were treated to lunch with a speaker afterward. This year's keynote speaker is Corey Westra, the commissioner of the Great Plains Athletic Conference.
In the afternoon, there was a special group video of the students forming a '25 as they toss their caps to celebrate their graduation year.
