Parents and families packed inside Crown Point High School’s Bulldog Stadium Thursday evening to celebrate the Class of 2025 and the unique paths of each of the graduating seniors.

Over 740 graduates walked across the stage during the high school’s 143rd annual commencement ceremony.

Katherine Nordyke, one of the student commencement speakers, said that while they each had gone through their own distinct experiences, the graduating class had grown united by facing this era of their lives together.

“Throughout these past four years, we’ve learned more about the people all around us as we stood side by side, through every success and setback, and began to find that it’s impossible to get lost when surrounded by people who care,” Nordyke said.
