Graduation season is here again — full of pride, reflection, and celebration. For the Class of 2025, it marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of something bold and new. Whether they’ve been with Durham Public Schools since kindergarten or joined us later in their journey, these students have grown, persevered, and thrived.
Our educators, families, and school communities have had the privilege of walking alongside them — encouraging their passions, challenging their thinking, and cheering for every breakthrough moment. Now, as they prepare to take on college, careers, and the world beyond high school, we send them off with gratitude and hope.
Meet one outstanding senior from each of our high schools. Their stories reflect the heart, ambition, and resilience of the entire Class of 2025. Join us in celebrating their accomplishments — and in wishing every DPS graduate the success they deserve.
