PERHAM — The Perham High School Class of 2022 gathered together in the Hive gymasium for one last time during the school's commencement ceremony on Friday, May 27.
The stands of the gym were packed with community members who came to support the 119 graduates. As the names of each grad were announced, cheers and applause were heard from all sides.
Prior to the graduation ceremony, the students were celebrated for their academic achievement via a Commencement Caravan on Thursday, May 26. Escorted by a fire truck and its sirens, seniors paraded through Perham while community members stood on the sidewalks and cheered them on.
At the Friday commencement ceremony, the Perham High School band and choir performed in celebration of the graduates, and several speakers, including teacher Cory Solberg, shared their thoughts and congratulations. Solberg expressed his gratitude and love for his community, and cracked jokes with the graduating seniors, who sent him texts during his speech, as he congratulated the Class of '22.
From there, students walked to the front of the Hive up onto stage, where they each received their diplomas. After they were all back in their seats, the graduates moved their tassels from right to left, signifying their graduation. In celebration, they tossed their hats into the air, grinning and laughing.
