BHS graduation ceremonies both solemn and joyous

Posted by Paula Scott on May 30, 2023 - 6:42am

Ninety Seniors crossed the stage in the Bluffton High School gymnasium this past Saturday and were awarded their diplomas in ceremonies both solemn and joyous. School and district representatives served in their official capacities, while students provided commentary on the momentous occasion.

The evening began with a darkened room and a music video displaying a pair of photos for each student: one as baby or toddler followed by a current photo of the graduate. A montage of activities was next, showing the Class of 2023 over the past 13 years.
