Lake Buena Vista High’s seniors turned their tassels and celebrated their high school graduation Tuesday, May 26. 

College and career specialist Ladara Royal said the Class of 2026 always will be special to him, especially those students who he worked with since middle school. 

“To watch you grow and mature through your early and middle adolescence years to now young adults has certainly been a gift and a treasure,” he said. “I will always protect and honor this bond.” 

Following speeches, a band of senior students stood on stage and sung “Forever Young” and “Everybody Rules the World,” before the graduates crossed the stage and closed their high school chapter.
