May 30, 2025—On graduation day, South Umpqua High School seniors began their celebration in the morning with a cherished tradition: the Graduation Walk. They visited each of the district’s elementary and middle schools, strolling through the hallways to high-fives, cheers and applause from younger students and former teachers.

That afternoon, several seniors swapped their graduation hats for baseball caps as they took the fields for baseball and softball playoff games—proof that this class knows how to juggle responsibilities.

Later that evening, with sunshine overhead and even warmer hearts in the crowd, South Umpqua High School celebrated the Class of 2025 during a packed graduation ceremony at Loghry Field. As South Umpqua High School’s Band played “Pomp and Circumstance,” Principal Carl Simpson and Vice Principal Ryan Savage led the seniors and educators as they made their way onto the football field.
