Pleasant High School graduated more than 90 seniors Friday night.
In the class of 2025, about 80% plan to continue their education and three plan to serve in the military.
Pleasant's graduating seniors earned a grand total of $1.4 million in scholarships.
The graduation ceremony saw speeches made by Pleasant High School Principal Steven Ringer, Pleasant Local School Superintendent Tom McDonnell and class of 2025 valedictorian Kylie Klaiber.
"While today might not make you feel like the finish line, it's really just a launch pad, whether you're heading to college, workforce, military, a gap year, or a path entirely your own," Ringer said. "Remember this. You carry with you more than just a transcript. You carry your values you've learned here: integrity, compassion and the belief in your ability to make a difference."
McDonnell told students that their parents and educators expect great things from them.
"We're proud of your accomplishments, but even more proud of who you are," McDonnell said.
Klaiber told her fellow graduates that high school is just 5% of their lives, and the best is yet to come.
"High school doesn't have to be the best chapter of your book," Klaiber said. "Just the beginning, and we've already started strong."
