Many local Buchanan churches put on a special church service for the graduating class. This is when the graduates are blessed. This is NOT required nor mandatory. It is another opportunity to wear your cap and gown. This is a community event. All may attend.
Where: Faith Victory Church
13369 N. Main St.
When: Sunday, May 18th @ 2:00 pm
This is a special ceremony. This is when scholarships and awards are granted and acknowledged. The Top Ten, Salutatorian, and Valedictorian are announced. This service is also NOT required or mandatory; however, if you received an invitation from the guidance office, that means you have won something. You should be present to receive it. Again, this is an opportunity to wear your cap and gown. All may attend.
When: Sunday, May 18th @ 4:00 pm
Where: HS Auditorium
Dear Senior Class of 2025,
As you prepare to take your final steps at Buchanan High School, I invite you to take one more step that’s not just about leaving—but about leading.
I would like to start a new tradition called The Pride Pass. Where you as seniors can symbolically pass on school pride to our kindergarten Little Bucks!
We are purchasing pennants that you can sign and following a short singing program by our kindergarten class, we would like to start this new tradition where you pass off the pennants to the kindergartners signifying the end of your journey and the beginning of theirs.
This event will happen at Memorial Field on May 20th at 7:00 pm. You may gather in the bleachers during the kindergartner's short singing program. Then you will be called to the field with each class of students gathering at opposite ends of the football field. There will be a short speech made and then both classes will walk and meet at the 50 yard line to exchange the pennants as the school fight song plays. We will get a whole group picture from the press box. This entire program should not last longer than 30 minutes and you should be done by 7:30 if not a little earlier.
Since we are passing the pride, please wear a shirt, sweatshirt, jersey that signifies BHS (sports, Herd, etc).
We would love for as many of you as possible to attend and begin this new tradition and legacy for our Little Bucks!
I am so proud of all that you have accomplished as you leave your mark on Buchanan Schools and wishing you all the best as you continue your journey to leave your mark on the world!
Your attendance and support of our Little Bucks would mean the world to them!!
Let's Go Bucks!
