To celebrate the seniors’ big night, teammates, friends, and loved ones created posters for the players to showcase while walking across the field. Visual senior William Dhana’s sister Lauren Dhana created a poster to cheer on her brother. The tradition of the senior night walk celebrates their dedication to their sport and is a milestone for the athletes as they transition into a life outside of highschool. (Isabella Johnson)

The Ceremony

After giving her junior to senior speech, theatre junior Adaleigh Wagner hugs visual senior Zofia Killeen. This annual tradition allows a junior to write a speech for a senior they are close to. “(Wagner) and I have been playing together for two years, and we have become such good friends,” Killeen said. “It meant so much that she made my speech, and it made my eyes water a little bit.”
