Class of 2025 Graduation

Beginning at 10 a.m. on May 18, 127 graduates in green and white gathered with their families, friends, teachers, and mentors to mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

The morning began with the Baccalaureate Mass with our school chaplain, Fr. Aric Aamodt, as celebrant. This Mass is a sacred and joyful tradition honoring the spiritual journey and asking God's blessing on the graduating class. Following Communion, President Mike Brennan announced the Ambassador of Christ Awards recipients. Maielle Schugel and James Guillemette were named Ambassadors of Christ and were recognized for exemplifying the school’s Catholic Lasallian values in word and deed.

Following Mass, the commencement ceremony took center stage. The ceremony opened with a series of inspiring and heartfelt speeches that captured the spirit and strength of this graduating class. Salutatorian Jessica Pass set the tone with warmth and humor. She took her classmates on a lighthearted journey through their shared memories—from first days and awkward moments to late-night study sessions and unexpected friendships. Her reflection honored their growth and offered genuine well-wishes as they prepare for the future.

Faculty speaker and Lasallian Educator of the Year, Mr. Kyle Economy, followed with a message centered on faith and trust. Drawing on the school’s Catholic Lasallian mission, he encouraged students to remain grounded in God’s presence, especially during times of uncertainty and change.

Valedictorian Nathan Hamilton concluded the remarks with a thoughtful reflection on the lessons learned within Holy Family’s classrooms. He spoke about how those lessons—both academic and personal—will serve as lasting tools for the road ahead, helping graduates navigate life with integrity, resilience, and curiosity.

Valedictorian Nathan Hamilton delivered a stirring address, encouraging his classmates to carry the lessons of Holy Family—integrity, compassion, and resilience—with them wherever they go.

Before the diplomas were presented Principal Dols announced the recipients of the Mary and Joseph Awards. Salutatorian Jessica Pass received the prestigious Mary Award for her deep commitment to faith and service. Eli Foudray was honored with the Joseph Award, celebrating his strength of character and quiet leadership.

As the final names were called and caps were tossed skyward in celebration, the spirit of unity and joy was palpable. Surrounded by sunshine, support, and hope for the future, the Holy Family Class of 2025 stepped confidently into the next stage of their journey, well-prepared to make a difference in the world.
