BIG SKY – With pomp and circumstance, Lone Peak High School will graduate 19 seniors on June 4.
With such a “dynamic” class, according to LPHS Principal Dr. Marlo Mitchem, the students’ future plans will spread them near and far to places she hopes they carry the spirit of Big Sky with them.
Though the Class of 2022 faced remote learning and other pandemic-spurred challenges, Mitchem said they also got to enjoy LPHS traditions that define the experience for so many students: the senior year backpacking trip, prom and other dances, athletic senior nights, theater performances and other milestones.
Despite the skills the students have cultivated in and out of the classroom that have prepared them for the next stages of life, Mitchem said she hopes Big Sky will always be home.
“I hope they always come back,” she said. “I want Big Sky to be a community that our graduates … come back to.”
The LPHS Class of 2022 invites the community to celebrate their graduation on June 4 at 4 p.m. at The Wilson Hotel. A cash bar will be available.
