Whitko Community Schools graduated 85 students during a commencement program Friday, May 30, 2025 in the Whitko Junior Senior High School gymnasium.
Superintendent Dr. Amy Korus welcomed the families, relatives and friends of the graduating class members, reminding the students they were Wildcats now, would always be Wildcats and always welcome home.
Valedictorian Gwen Howard and Salutatorian Cassidy Skinner addressed their classmates and WJSHS Principal Jodie Clark wished them well in this new phase of their lives.
