On Friday, May 30th, the Class of 2025 took part in one of Pennfield’s most meaningful traditions—the Senior Walk. Dressed in their caps and gowns, seniors walked the halls of North Penn Elementary, Purdy Elementary, Dunlap Elementary, Pennfield Middle School, and Pennfield High School, greeted with cheers, claps, and proud smiles from students and staff at every stop.
Younger students lined the hallways to celebrate their older peers, while past teachers and staff welcomed the seniors back with pride and excitement for their future. It was a beautiful reminder of how far they’ve come—and the bright road ahead. Congratulations, Class of 2025! 🎉
