Surrounded by family, friends, and faculty, students received their class rings and certificates—symbols of their hard work, dedication, and the lasting bond they share with the Lutheran High family. A special thank you to Reverend Aubrey Watson, Jr., Holy Cross Lutheran Church, for blessing the rings and sharing an inspiring message about leadership, faith, and unity. Thank you to the LHS Choir for sharing their vocal talents. As always, thank you to First English Church for sharing their beautiful facility with us.

The morning was highlighted by inspiring addresses from both distinguished alumni and outstanding student leaders: Mr. Tyrone Tedesco, Class of 1979, delivered the graduation address. He reminded the graduates that a small school does not mean a small future, encouraging them to leverage the close-knit foundation they built at Lutheran High to serve as a powerful launching pad for greatness. Miss Audria Kleyle took the stage to deliver the salutatorian address, reflecting on the shared memories, challenges overcome, and the tight bonds formed by the Class of 2026. In her valedictory address, Miss Frimpoma Anim beautifully compared the graduating class to a puzzle, observing that by weaving their lives together, they had "made such a meaningful impact on each other and created a beautiful picture." Drawing strength from the class Bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11, she left her peers with a powerful reminder of faith and purpose, concluding: "The Lord has a plan for every single one of us, and I can't wait to see the outcome!"

​Congratulations to the spectacular Class of 2026! We are incredibly proud of all you have accomplished, and we cannot wait to see how you change the world. Once a Gryphon, always a Gryphon!
