On a day filled with pride, joy, and a few happy tears, Horizon Science Academy Cincinnati proudly celebrated the graduation of its 8th-grade scholars! Families, friends, teachers, and staff gathered to honor the accomplishments of the Class of 2025 in a heartfelt ceremony that captured the spirit of growth, community, and bright futures ahead.
The ceremony was marked by powerful and inspirational speeches delivered by both our students and school leaders. Their words were not only thoughtful and moving but also reminded us all of the power of perseverance, the importance of kindness, and the beauty of learning. Many parents in the audience found themselves wiping away tears — some from emotion, others from trying to record videos and clap at the same time. Multitasking isn’t easy!
Principal Mr. Gates delivered a passionate message that uplifted every student in the room — and just when everyone thought the moment couldn’t get any better, he pulled out his phone for the ultimate Gen Z meets Tradition moment: a graduation selfie with the entire audience! Because let’s face it — if it’s not documented with a selfie, did it even happen?
The event was a beautiful reminder of how far our scholars have come and the exciting journey that lies ahead in high school and beyond. We’re incredibly proud of our students and thankful to all the parents, teachers, and staff who supported them along the way.
Congratulations, Class of 2025 — you did it! 🎉
