2025 Graduation
May 24th at 10:00 am
We proudly congratulate you on the remarkable accomplishments and milestones you’ve reached. This moment represents years of hard work, resilience, and growth. Take a moment to reflect, and to thank those who have walked alongside you, supported you, and believed in you along the way.
As you prepare to receive your diploma, remember, this is not simply a rite of passage, but a gift, one made possible by your efforts and by a community that has invested in your potential. In return, we encourage you to use the talents, values, and knowledge you've gained to make a meaningful impact in the world around you.
Your future will not unfold by luck or coincidence. It will take shape through your preparation, your choices, and your willingness to take bold steps, especially those beyond your comfort zone. Say yes to opportunities, take risks, and never underestimate your ability to create your own path.
Thank you for the energy, spirit, and pride you’ve brought to this year. We celebrate you now and look forward to the difference you’ll make tomorrow.

Each graduating Senior will be given 5 tickets for seating directly behind the graduates. More may be requested from administration if available. (Please talk to fellow graduates first for extra tickets) In the event of poor weather requiring us to move the ceremony indoors, only the original 5 tickets per graduate will be permitted. If this is the case the ceremony will be held in the Main Gymnasium.
Graduation is a special moment that we all want to capture. MJ Thomas will be providing professional photography as students are honored on stage during the ceremony. These photos may be purchased through MJ Thomas and a flier for this will be placed in senior packets.
There is a place for parents/guardians to take pictures as your graduate crosses the stage. Out of consideration for others, we ask that photographers only be in the picture box area as their graduate crosses the stage and then returns to their seat.
The graduation ceremony will be broadcast through a live feed for extended families not able to attend. Access to this link can be found on our district website. http://www.garfield16.org/
At the conclusion of this event, a recording of the ceremony will also be available on GVHS YOUTUBE.
