Bartlesville High School Graduation
Nathan Thompson
Nearly 350 seniors from Bartlesville High School took the next step towards adulthood during a commencement ceremony Friday night at Custer Stadium.
Despite a 30 minute delayed start because of rain, the stadium was standing room only for graduation, cheering the students as they entered Lyon Field.
Archisha Banerjee, president of the class of 2023, and Joyce Yang, BHS student body president, gave their presidential addresses to the crowd. Yang says through thick and thin, the Bruin seniors have stuck together through trials, but she will always support her classmates.
BHS principal Michael Harp shared his thoughts on the graduating class, just before all the names were called to walk across the stage to get their diplomas. He says the seniors had some remarkable achievements.
After the singing of the Alma Mater, Harp instructed the seniors to turn their tassles, and with the roaring applause of the crowd, the graduates marched off the field to join their families and loved ones.
KWON provided a live broadcast of the BHS graduation on the radio and on KWONTV.com thanks to OK Federal Credit Union, OKWU Adult Studies, Regent Bank, Wasemiller Insurance, Arvest Bank, Lot A Burger, Skyway Honda and $5 Gold Digger.
