The Lebanon Community School Corporation held a graduation ceremony for the Class of 2025 on May 31, 2025, celebrating the students' transition from high school to the next phase of their lives. The event emphasized the importance of education beyond the classroom, with a keynote speech reflecting on the lessons learned during their time at Lebanon High School.

The speaker began by quoting Mark Twain, highlighting the distinction between formal schooling and real-world education. They encouraged graduates to view their diploma not as an endpoint but as a starting point for lifelong learning. The speech underscored the foundational skills acquired during high school, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and resilience, which will serve the students well as they venture into the world.

Graduates were urged to embrace experiences that challenge them, seek out diverse perspectives, and take risks that foster personal growth. The speaker emphasized that while the education received at Lebanon High School is valuable, the real lessons will come from engaging with the world around them.

As the ceremony concluded, the speaker acknowledged the various paths the graduates might take, whether pursuing higher education, entering the workforce, serving in the military, or embarking on gap years. The overarching message was clear: the journey of learning continues beyond the walls of the school, and the graduates are well-equipped to navigate the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
