Jack Widmer described the President’s Education Awards recognition and introduced state honors diplomas. He summarized the State Board of Education criteria used locally for the Ohio honors diploma: higher‑level credits, a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, and college‑ready benchmarks (an ACT score of 27 or an SAT score of 1210).

Program notes and speakers said recipients of the President’s Education Awards and of state honors diplomas were standing to be recognized and that honorees are identified in the printed commencement program. The ceremony identified valedictorians in the program with a letter “V” beside their names.

Speakers noted that presidential awards, honors diplomas and valedictorian designations reflect district and state criteria; no changes to those criteria were announced at the ceremony.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Graduation 2025 - Marysville Exempted Village Schools","oneSentenceSummary","Ceremony speakers said 73 students met the district's valedictorian standard (4.1 GPA after seven semesters); presenters also explained Ohio honors diploma requirements (GPA 3.5, ACT 27 or SAT 1210).","taxTitle","Marysville Exempted Village, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",38299,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6236404,"Marysville–Columbus State partnership yields associate degrees for early-college students",64,1760000,1824000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3365335-54529aee074c9c867fcb7edadc79b3a5&start=1760&end=1824","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3365335-54529aee074c9c867fcb7edadc79b3a5/thumbnail_1760000.jpg","/articles/6236404/Ohio/MarysvilleColumbus-State-partnership-yields-associate-degrees-for-early-college-students","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6236404-5f04254fa3de203618a2972bab6c7037/orig.mp4?Expires=1770627595&Signature=dGQksv48xVqmbkB9pxxiOBDHY040f67E8trFgwY~PHp3R1zi36GCh9lWnblewfS51ukQjsDZsX4YqFcXXxSygx7GwfKDcHcodFx6YyliIbfqTXLyXvUlz2cmPsQn2GZ3HB1a9JxBuSa6i8EFdO4s~0WrTWrRf1hvd2khgpOB93Po-hvoUyf9ItON0ZxQoc9MSg0yN~16T1cHfoyLoGOdrW616if~2kbpWr2CedY3FfHstc7ixvwV~b-GFLm1l3sIRcbDNMYsiQXsMCGlAJHDbzT0uo1M-uLujmSCwLw267l-U47lfGbxP6Bl7MACBvMGppOwPfvVSJ4LiB5bSj1WfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Christine Tululepe Anderson announced that graduates received associate degrees through the Marysville partnership with Columbus State Community College, saying the collaboration began “11 years ago” and has created a one‑of‑a‑kind STEM early college high school in Marysville.

Scott Bennett, principal of Marysville STEM Early College High School, and other speakers recognized the academic workload of students who balanced high‑school and college classes during their programs.

Bill Keck, president of the Marysville Exempted Village School District Board of Education, accepted the class on behalf of the board, saying, “On behalf of the Marysville Exempted Village School District Board of Education, I'm honored to accept the class of 2025.”

Scott Bennett, principal of Marysville STEM Early College High School, and other school officials were onstage during the certification and diploma presentation. Earlier in the program, a district speaker described the graduating cohort as “approximately 391 students,” language echoed in the ceremony before the principals read the formal certification.

The ceremony also included academic and program recognitions: speakers noted multiple valedictorians, recipients of the President’s Education Awards, students who earned state honors diplomas, and students who completed associate degrees through the Marysville–Columbus State partnership. The program listed athletic and extracurricular accomplishments the district highlighted as part of the class’s record.

Superintendent Diane Allen was acknowledged during the event; an on-stage tribute identified her as the district’s outgoing superintendent after 13 years of service.

The certification at commencement is a formal statement by school leadership that candidates meet the education and board requirements for diplomas; no vote or additional board action was announced during the ceremony.","At the Marysville Schools commencement, principals certified that 391 candidates met Ohio Department of Education and Board of Education requirements; Board President Bill Keck formally accepted the class of 2025.","actionData","errors"]
