Benjamin Logan High School proudly celebrated the Class of 2026 on Friday, May 22, as 141 seniors officially crossed the stage during the school’s 56th Annual Commencement Ceremony.

Family members, friends, staff, and community supporters filled the gymnasium to honor the graduating class
and recognize the achievements, memories, and milestones that defined their years as Raiders.
​
The evening included remarks from Principal Annette Ramga-Alatorre, musical performances by senior choir members, and reflections from co-valedictorians Winifred Bodin, Rylan Norviel, and Greyson Wagoner.

​
Each speaker shared personal messages and encouragement with classmates as they prepare to begin the next chapter of their lives.

Winifred Bodin encouraged graduates to move forward boldly and intentionally.

“Success is not about having every door open forever, but about having the courage to finally walk through one,” Bodin shared.

Greyson Wagoner reflected on the value of slowing down and appreciating life’s quieter moments.

“Find comfort in the quiet moments,” Wagoner told classmates.

Rylan Norviel encouraged students to embrace change and step outside their comfort zones.

“Try something new; you never know if you might find your new favorite dish,” Norviel said.

The Class of 2026 motto, “We didn’t come this far just to come this far,” served as a theme throughout the evening and reflected the perseverance and determination of the graduating class.

Benjamin Logan also recognized the class’s top academic achievers during the ceremony.
The Top 10 students included:
  • Co-Valedictorians: Winifred Bodin, Rylan Norviel, and Greyson Wagoner
  • Fourth Place (tie): Kaidyn Green and Annika Chappell
  • Sixth Place: Tyler Shoopman
  • Seventh Place: Scarlett Elliott
  • Eighth Place: Ella Chamberlain
  • Ninth Place: Evelyn “Bre” Allen
  • Tenth Place: Josey Queen

Diplomas were presented by Assistant Principal Jeff Fay and Board of Education President Mark Himmeger, while Superintendent John Scheu officially accepted the graduating class.
Senior Class President Winnie Bodin concluded the ceremony with the traditional turning of the tassels as graduates celebrated becoming Benjamin Logan alumni.

Whether employed, enlisted, or enrolled in higher education, Benjamin Logan Schools congratulated all 141 graduates and wished them success in the future.
