Senior Lunch & Walk

We are thrilled to continue one of our favorite Warhawk traditions—the Senior Lunch and Walk—as we celebrate the Class of 2025!

This special event will take place on Thursday, May 15, 2025, and we would love for you to join us in making it a memorable day for our Seniors.

Here’s what the day will look like:

12:30 PM – Senior Class Meeting in the Auditorium (Students Only)
We’ll review key information about graduation rehearsal and the upcoming graduation ceremony.
1:00–1:45 PM – Senior Lunch (Students Only)
We’ll be grilling out and serving lunch to the Class of 2025 as a way to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments.
1:55 PM – Senior Walk Begins (Parents and Students)
Seniors will line up outside the West doors alongside our amazing Warhawk Band. They’ll walk through the Commons and exit through the East doors by the stadium.

We invite all parents and guardians to join us at 1:55pm by lining up outside the East doors, forming a tunnel of celebration for our Seniors to walk through. The walk will conclude on the stadium field, where families and students can gather, take pictures, and enjoy this special time together.

We hope you can attend and help us send off the Class of 2025 with pride, love, and lots of Warhawk spirit!
