Last night, Lufkin High School celebrated its Top 20 graduates from the Class of 2025 in a special evening dedicated to academic excellence and meaningful connections. Each student was recognized for their hard work and achievements, as well as for selecting an Educator of Influence who played a significant role in their educational journey.
During the ceremony, students gave heartfelt speeches explaining why they chose their particular educator, highlighting the lasting impact these mentors have had on their lives. The event was filled with pride, emotion, and a deep sense of accomplishment.
The district also proudly announced Savannah Brightwell as the Valedictorian and Nolan Hansard as the Salutatorian of the Class of 2025. Both students exemplify the dedication and excellence that define Lufkin High School.
