Costa Mesa High's class of 2025 celebrates one last time together on Mustangs Field
Under sunny skies, Costa Mesa High School's graduating seniors on Thursday bid a fond farewell to the place they've come to think of as a second home. A class of 275 graduates convened on the school's Mustangs Field to reflect on the past four years of shared experiences and celebrate their togetherness one last time before moving onto their respective futures. Remarks from student speakers Ian Encarnacion and Charisma Fetalaiga-Mene, along with performances by the CMHS Band and Madrigal Singers, rounded out the afternoon, which commenced with the tossing of mortar boards. About 29% of grads will attend four-year colleges in the fall, while 65% will go on to community college. Nearly 3% will enter trade school, while 2% are enlisting in the military. Collectively, seniors have earned $220,000 in scholarship awards, not counting those who may have earned partial- or full-ride scholarships. But more than academics, this year's class will be remembered for the connections forged between students. Principal Dipali Potnis, in comments provided before Thursday's ceremony, commended graduates for being deeply introspective about their potential impact on the greater community and for supporting one another. 'The Class of 2025 has consistently shown up with heart and brought positive energy to all spaces that they engaged in. As a result, they have excelled in their academics, the arts, athletics — and whatever they put their mind to,' she said. 'I am excited for this group of young people to step into the world and create a positive impact wherever they go.'

Petoskey High School bids farewell to Class of 2025
PETOSKEY — Petoskey High School welcomed a new class of alumni on Sunday, June 1, as the school hosted its 140th commencement ceremony. More than 200 students received their diplomas under sunny skies as a packed stadium full of their loved ones cheered them on. The Class of 2025 were celebrated for all that they accomplished during their school career, whether that was starring in the school musical or setting records on the football field or earning accolades in robotics. Seniors had the chance to play one last time with the band and the Madrigal Singers performed a version of 'From Now On/This is Me' arranged by graduating senior Lillian Bott. Senior Honor Speaker Jackson Darden, who will be attending the University of Michigan-Dearborn to study mechanical engineering, urged his classmates to continue pursuing their passions in the future. 'No matter what you end up doing, always at least give it a chance,' he said. 'Trust me, you will never regret it. And if you are still feeling uncertain about what you are going to end up doing, that's OK. No one knows how things will turn out in the future. Things change. Life happens. Passions shift. Choose the path that lets you pursue as many things you love as you can.' Senior Honor Speaker Charlotte Todd, who will be attending Michigan State University to study pre-law, reminded her peers that 'You are Northmen forever.' 'If there's one thing I hope you take away from this tonight, it's this,' she said. 'At the Public Schools of Petoskey, you're given the chance to become your own version of a Northmen. To any underclassmen, no one is going to tell you to be louder at a football game, raise your hand in class or follow Spirit Week, but it's going to be highly encouraged by many. You only get to experience this opportunity once, so do what you feel is necessary to be your version of a Northmen. It's not an ending but an opportunity to continue the legacy of the Petoskey Northmen.' — Contact Jillian Fellows at jfellows@ This article originally appeared on The Petoskey News-Review: Petoskey High School bids farewell to Class of 2025 at graduation
