The Big Sky High School 2025 Graduation Ceremony took place on June 8, 2025, celebrating the achievements of the graduating class. The event commenced with heartfelt congratulations to the students, followed by the introduction of the commencement speaker, Mr. Zach Murphy, a beloved teacher at the school.

Mr. Murphy opened his speech by reflecting on his journey with the students, sharing a letter from a graduate that highlighted the impact of his teaching. He emphasized the importance of perseverance and the value of education, encouraging students to embrace their unique experiences in a rapidly changing world shaped by technology and social media.

He conveyed two key messages to the graduates.

His second message focused on the essence of being human—connection and vulnerability. He shared personal struggles with sadness and highlighted the importance of relationships in overcoming challenges. Mr. Murphy encouraged students to be a source of positivity and support for others, reinforcing the idea that genuine connections can lead to a fulfilling life.

Following his inspiring address, Superintendent Micah Hill presented the graduates with their diplomas, officially recognizing their accomplishments.
