Thirty-four seniors at Ripon Christian High received their diplomas along with Bibles last Friday.

They were part of the school’s 77th commencement ceremonies held in the gym for families, relatives, friends and special guests to see.

“For many of us, in many different ways, RC has been a haven in a world that has been tumultuous and for that we give thanks,” said the Christian-based school on behalf of the Class of 2022.

Stanford University-bound Maclaira Camper addressed the class in her valedictorian speech. Salutatorian Raegan Moret, who will be attending Grand Canyon University in Arizona, provided the farewell and closing prayer.

Other RC graduation moments included Superintendent Eric Segaar welcoming those in attendance, Pastor Patrick Anthony providing the invocation and devotions, Class Representative Isaac Buwalda presenting the class gift, and Principal Joe Venema introducing the graduation class.

The complete list of graduates consisted of: Serina Bogan, Isaac Bos, Sydney Briggs, Zachary Brouwer, Colton Bryan, Isaac Buwalda, Maclaira Camper, Andrew Clark, Andrew Copeland, Micah De Jong, Trinity Gonzales, Austin Groppetti, Arie Harrewyn, Jay Hoekstra, Jenna Hofman.
