Odessa-Montour High School celebrated the Class of 2025 on Friday night, awarding diplomas to 41 seniors during a heartfelt ceremony in the Fetter-Brown Auditorium. Valedictorian Cara Reynolds delivered an emotional Class Message, paying tribute to classmate Mars Rogers, who passed away in February.
An empty chair onstage held Rogers’ cap and gown, a quiet yet powerful symbol of the class’s loss. Principal Kelsey Pinette introduced each graduate, sharing their honors and future plans before the presentation of diplomas.
Families gathered afterward outside the school to celebrate, capturing memories of a bittersweet milestone.
