May 19, 2025
It was a memorable day as 754 seniors officially graduated from Cabot High School!
Students graduated on campus in three different ceremonies at Panther Arena on Saturday, May 17th. It was not only a special day but a special year as CHS celebrated its 150th anniversary. During the ceremonies, Superintendent Dr. Tony Thurman and CHS Principal Mike Falcinelli welcomed everyone and congratulated the Sesquicentennial Class of 2025!
Included in this class are 74 Distinguished Honor Graduates, 70 High Honor graduates, and 59 Honor Graduates. These students met this distinction by maintaining a high GPA while taking rigorous academic classes.
This class is also made up of four National Merit Scholars, 13 seniors enlisted in various branches of the military earning approximately $1.5 million dollars in scholarship money, two military academy appointments (these scholarships are valued at over $600,000 each), a prep school appointment (valued at $250,000), and over $150,0000 in scholarships given by businesses, organizations, and individuals in our local community.
Out of the 754 graduates, 92 of these have a 4.0 GPA or higher. Also included is well over half-a-million dollars given in band, choir, and athletic scholarships.

The changing of the tassel was conducted by a very special member of the Cabot High School Class of 1965. Kenneth Ross Ridgeway has been selected as the 2025 Distinguished Alumnus. Mr. Ridgeway represented not only his fellow classmates - who are celebrating the 60th anniversary of their graduation - but also the thousands of other proud alumni of Cabot High School. Mr. Ridgeway began his educational journey at Ward Elementary School and joined Cabot High School in the 8th grade. During his time at CHS, he was actively involved in football and track. His graduating class of 1965 was the first to include more than 100 graduates.
Following the changing of the tassel and alma mater, Mr. Falcinelli presented the Class of 2025!
