Perry and Adel-DeSoto-Minburn High Schools will be recognizing the Class of 2025 with their respective commencement ceremonies on Sunday.

Perry High School Principal Brad Snowgren says that 151 students will be receiving their diplomas as the ceremony will take place at 2pm on the Dan Marburger Court inside the high school. He mentions that there is no guest speaker, but seniors Quin Mahler-Moreno and Owen Myers will be the student representatives. 

Snowgren shares that this will be his third time leading the graduation ceremony, but first as the full-time principal following Dan Marburger’s passing last year. He acknowledges that he’s honored to succeed not only Marburger, but Dr. Eugene Brady before that, as seeing the high school seniors take the next step in the journey is a highlight for him.

“The look of accomplishment on the student’s faces as they walk across the stage and just the change in how they just perk up in pride as they walk across the stage, I think that’s probably my favorite part.”

ADM High School Principal Lee Griebel reveals that 162 students are expected to graduate. He notes that three students are speaking at the commencement ceremony with seniors Isaac Hatchitt, Payton Taylor, and Taylor Braun. The ceremony is happening at 2:30pm inside the high school north gym, with the doors opening at 1pm.
