The Poudre School District Board of Education and Superintendent Brian Kingsley proudly announce the commencement ceremonies for the PSD Class of 2025.
This year marks an important milestone for PSD, as we welcome the first graduating classes of Timnath Middle-High School and Wellington Middle-High School. Both schools opened with grades 6-10 in August 2022 and expanded to have grades 6-11 last year and grades 6-12 this school year.
"The students graduating from Timnath and Wellington are trailblazers, carrying forward the proud traditions of their communities while helping to shape the identity of these new middle-high schools. We look forward to celebrating this milestone - and all of our graduating students - this spring," Superintendent Kingsley said.
