The Class of 2025 has finished its journey through high school, with nothing but promise and potential awaiting them.
Prior Lake High School graduated nearly 700 students on Thursday at Dan Patch Stadium, with another 56 seniors graduating from Bridges Area Learning Center and another 19 completing high school requirements through the Laker Online program.
Superintendent Michael Thomas and principal John Bezek addressed the students and loved ones gathered in the packed stadium, while student council president Anh Pham provided the student welcome and Owen Hammett delivered the commencement address.
The student council selected seven staff members to read the names of the graduates: Dan Beier, Tyler Koonce, Janean Mestnick, Joe Mestnik, Sara Strege and Ethan Walker.
