The Lamar High School Class of 2023 held its commencement exercises at 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 21. It was a beautiful day for family and friends to enjoy the ceremony that was held outdoors at the Thomas M. O’Sullivan Stadium. Graduates entered the field from the east as they made way to their respective seats. Many had their mortarboards decorated as a form of expression, or telling others where they planned to attend college. The salutatorian address was presented by Veronica Ogden, with Andrew Shelton giving the valedictorian address. Entertainment was provided by the high school band, along with a solo from senior Emma Aborn and the singing of the LHS Alma Mater, led by class officers. Members of the Lamar R-1 School Board, along with LHS Principal Jennifer Beem, presented the diplomas to graduates as Superintendent Dr. Zach Harris announced their names. The junior class provided a single flower that was handed out to each senior as they exited the stage.

Twenty-one Lockwood High School graduates crossed the stage to a full house as they participated in graduation exercises at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 14, in the high school gym. The Top 10 students in the class were recognized, along with the customary salutatorian address given by Dylan Snider and the valedictorian address given by Owen Neely. Graduates spread out during the ceremony as they carried a flower to someone that they felt was instrumental in their lives, with many including a big hug as they presented the flower to their loved one. The guest speaker was Lockwood teacher Hayden Rogler and a slide show was held featuring the various graduates from their childhood up. Ben Friend, a classmate that had been killed in a tragic accident in 2017, was featured at the end of the slide show. Adding to the traditional tossing of the caps, the class brought out pump guns that were full of confetti, making for a very festive atmosphere.
