​The Bellefontaine High School Class of 2025 celebrated a night of recognition and reflection during their commencement ceremony on Friday, May 30, at AcuSport Stadium. The evening marked a significant milestone for 209 graduates, who were honored for both academic and personal accomplishments.
This year’s graduating class earned more than $2.1 million in scholarships, and 16 students achieved a 4.0 GPA or higher. Valedictorian Nolan Core, son of Cliff and Sara Core, graduated with a 4.688 GPA and plans to study biochemistry with a pre-med focus at Ohio Wesleyan University. Salutatorian Claire Grandstaff, daughter of Ryan and Natalie Grandstaff, maintained a 4.391 GPA and will attend Miami University to study psychology.

The keynote address was delivered by 2007 BHS graduate Dr. Timothy Smith, now an award-winning NASA engineer and principal investigator at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. Smith shared four guiding principles with the graduates, emphasizing adaptability, the importance of collaboration, the value of surrounding oneself with challenging peers, and taking pride in one’s roots.

The class also recognized students earning associate’s degrees before graduation, including Nolan Core and Naomi Washburn (Clark State) and Savannah Sheeley (The Ohio State University). Several graduates, including Kaydin Lenhart, Nevaeh Lafollette, Trent Marcinko, and Brayden Swearengin, were honored for enlisting in the military.

Distinguished Alumni honors were presented to Dr. Smith (Class of 2007), former Bellefontaine Mayor Ben Stahler (Class of 1978), and public servant Christina Burt (Class of 1993). Each was recognized for significant professional achievements and community service.

Principal Cliff Core led the ceremony and highlighted the diversity and talent of the graduating class, praising them for academic excellence, athletic achievements, and service to the community.
