The Baraga Area School (BAS) gymnasium was filled with joy, pride, and anticipation as administration, faculty, staff, family, friends, and community members gathered to
attend the 134th Annual Commencement ceremony for the graduating class of 2025.
This memorable evening took place on Friday, May 23, 2025, and honored the accomplish
ments of 15 Baraga High School (BHS) seniors and 8 Baraga Area Community Schools (BACS) students as they transitioned from high school graduates to the builders of their future. The event began with a processional as the graduates confidently walked into the gymnasium to the iconic strains of “Pomp and Circumstance,” performed with precision by the Baraga High School Band. This was followed by a solemn tribute to honor the students and a performance of the Honor Song by Summer Cloud, encapsulating the pride and cultural essence of the evening.
