📸 Senior Trip Highlights – Class of 2025 🎓
Yesterday was a day to remember as the Senior Class took on Philadelphia for an unforgettable senior trip!
From standing in front of the iconic Liberty Bell and Independence Hall to walking the streets of historic Philly, we soaked in every moment together. We even got some classic Philly cheesesteaks 🧀🥖—definitely worth the hype!
The night ended perfectly with a Phillies game under the lights ⚾️, cheering and laughing side-by-side one last time before graduation.
Grateful for the memories, the laughter, and this amazing group of people. Let’s finish strong, Class of 2025!
