Ashley Moore reviewed the skills the Class of 2025 learned over their years at CHS, including friendship and critical thinking.

Olivia Griffith and Bennett Hill touched on the value of hard work and putting forth your best effort.

For Griffith, that means commitment. Hill described it as perseverance, whether it’s something you’re passionate about or something mundane.

Dylan Meier’s parting words reminded the Class of 2025 that, “No matter what the world throws at you, it’s still you.”
