Graduation, BFHS Class of 2015
June 3, 2015
Rainy weather intervened to move the graduation ceremony for the Bonners Ferry High School Class of 2015 from its scheduled outdoor location to the indoor location of the Middle School gymnasium. However, the spirit and excitement of the graduates and of their graduation program was not dampened.

One hundred and one seniors graduated in the ceremony held last Saturday, May 30.

The ceremony was conducted by BFHS Principal Tim Gering, who had the unique honor during the ceremony of introducing his own daughters, one of whom graduated as class Salutatorian, and one as Valedictorian.

"It is my sincere wish," said Mr. Gering in addressing the class, "that here at Bonners Ferry High School, you have been given the tools and the knowledge to choose wisely.

"And if I may speak for all parents today, it is my goal that I have instilled in you the integrity, the ability, and the courage to make wise choices."

The graduation ceremony opened with the processional performed by the Bonners Ferry High School band, as the Graduates of the Class of 2015 entered the room and took their seats. The band then played the national anthem.

Addresses were delivered by Chase Dinning, Senior Class President, and by Salutatorians Hannah Gering and Savannah Woods, and Valedictorians Chloe Gering, Kimberly Kramer, Jacob Perkins, and Mackenzie Mendenhall.
