The Lebanon Community School Corporation held a graduation ceremony for the Class of 2025 on May 31, 2025, at Lebanon High School. The event featured a keynote speech by graduate Taylor O'Brien, who shared a reflective message about self-discovery and the uncertainties of the future.

O'Brien began by expressing a common sentiment among graduates: the struggle to truly understand oneself. She acknowledged that while many may have expectations about their futures, the reality is that no one has all the answers. O'Brien emphasized the importance of recognizing that it is acceptable not to know everything, including one's career path or identity.

Throughout her speech, O'Brien highlighted the role of mentors, teachers, and parents in guiding students, noting that even they are navigating their own uncertainties. She pointed out that many college students change their majors and adults frequently switch jobs, illustrating that the journey of self-discovery is ongoing.

O'Brien encouraged her peers to embrace the unknown as a vital part of growth. She quoted a friend, stating, "It's time to make mistakes," and urged graduates to take risks and explore their interests without fear of making wrong choices. She concluded her speech with a call to action, urging her classmates to create their own futures and to remain open to change.

Following O'Brien's address, Principal Doctor Millman certified the graduation of the students, confirming that each had met the academic requirements set by the state of Indiana and the Lebanon Community School Corporation. He expressed pride in the accomplishments of the graduates and optimism for their futures.

The ceremony celebrated the achievements of the Class of 2025, marking a significant milestone in their educational journey and encouraging them to embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.
