DSHS seniors graduate in postponed ceremony

Dripping Springs High School can officially boast 569 more alumni after graduating its 2023-2024 senior class this past weekend.

Although the commencement ceremony was initially scheduled for Friday, May 31, heavy thunderstorms in the forecast caused Dripping Springs ISD officials to move the event to Saturday, June 1. The postponed ceremony went off without a hitch the following day, beginning at 8 p.m.

Valedictorian William Johns and salutatorian Jaiden Stankard both spoke at Saturday’s graduation, part of the “Top 10” seniors ranked academically and previously recognized by the DSISD Board of Trustees ^iT/ U in late April. Additional Top 10 seniors included Milad Khezrefaridi, Brenna Putman, Lauren Kethley, Presley Cochran, Alyssa Stradling, Kira Granberry, Jasmine Zogaib and Keira Maghielse.
