Soap Lake honors 45 members of the class of 2023

SOAP LAKE — Dressed in graduation caps and gowns, 45 Soap Lake High School seniors walked through the high school’s gymnasium for the final time as Eagles on Saturday, earning their diplomas and becoming Soap Lake alumni. “Looking back, maybe we should have brought some tissues,” Soap Lake Principal Levi Spencer joked during his welcoming remarks. After seniors walked into the gym in groups of two to the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance,” the soon-to-be graduates and those in the crowd were welcomed by Spencer and watched a video with photos of the graduates from their youth, set to the tune of Macklemore’s “Good Ole Days.” Graduates then rose from their seats in front of the gym and walked into the crowd for the rose ceremony, passing out roses to loved ones in the crowd.
