Congratulations to the Class of 2025 and thank you for so many great memories. From Elvis at HOCO sophomore year, the student who would critique my choice of ties and jackets, the high fives, all of the outstanding athletic, choir, and band performances. The great effort the senior Class officers made to provide fun activities for the a senior class, and the "Rodeo" in the courtyard. Your performances in the school plays, incredible art work, and seeing the growth in maturity so many of you made the three years here at the High School are this I will remember about the Class of 2025.
