This morning, Sanford High School Class of 2025 made their ceremonial walk through our schools in their caps and gowns!
The graduates visited Sanford Middle School, Sanford Pride Elementary, Carl J. Lamb Elementary, and Margaret Chase Smith Elementary before finishing their journey at Sanford High School.
What a heartwarming tradition! Seniors got to reconnect with former teachers who helped shape their journey, while current students lined the hallways cheering and celebrating the Class of 2025.
