TODAY IS AN "A" DAY FOR STUDENTS!
Last night, nearly 450 Washburn Rural High School seniors turned their tassels and officially became alumni. For nearly half of them, this moment marked the culmination of a 13-year journey that began in our district as kindergarteners. It has been a true honor to witness their growth, resilience, and accomplishments along the way. Congratulations to the entire Class of 2025! We are so proud of you and wish you nothing but success and fulfillment on the road ahead!
Way to go, Lady Blues! You make us proud!
