Lenape High School

At Lenape, end-of-the-year festivities came in full force. Lenape celebrated an amazing senior prom at the National Constitution Center with great attendance and hundreds of students enjoying the night. During the last week of school, seniors all got together to celebrate their final Friday at Lenape at Topgolf. This was a fun event to get the grade excited about graduating, and bring everyone together. Following the event, there was a senior sunset allowing seniors to get together one last time before graduation. Not only were there exciting end-of-the-year events, but great academic success. Congratulations to the three students, Amogh Biradar, Nesa Shah, and Jessica Yao, who were accepted into this year’s Governor’s Schools. Amogh and Nesa will be attending the School of Engineering and Technology, and Jessica will be attending the School of Science.

Shawnee High School

At Shawnee, they also ended their year with many festivities. They had their exciting end-of-the-year Renegames, where students participated in different games and activities. It was a day filled with team building and fun while making great memories with friends.  Shawnee also had some exciting field trips, including the Science History Institute and going to the Make-a-Wish Castle, where the Kids for Wish Kids Club presented them with a donation of $4,000. Shawnee continued the idea of giving back to their community with their Senior Day of Service, where seniors were able to participate in acts of community service before their graduation.

Cherokee High School

At Cherokee, their athletics had a major win to end the school year, as the Cherokee Baseball Team became Group IV State Champions.

Cherokee also had some exciting celebrations for their seniors. They had the Senior Solo Choral Concert to honor the musical talents of their class. They also held their Class of 2025 Decision Day where students were able to share their plans for their future.

Seneca High School

At Seneca, their seniors had their own senior sunset allowing everyone to get together one final time and celebrate. At the event, they also decorated their parking spots to celebrate the end of the school year and their future plans. Seneca also had some great achievements, such as the National Latin Exam winners! Senior Ryan Brown medaled all four years and Sophomore Bell Baratta achieved a perfect score for the 4th time in Seneca history. Congratulations!
