May 22, 2022 | 1:18 PM

DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Detroit Lakes High School Seniors graduated, Sunday.

The 2022 class was the first to accept their diplomas in the new Lakeshirts Fieldhouse surrounded by friends and family.

Senior Merrit Engrum spoke Sunday during the high school graduation ceremony reflecting on four years of schooling that included distance learning from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic to navigating a school under construction, “These last four years have been nothing but the best, it’s crazy to think that we’ve spent so much time together and shared so many memories. As we embark on this next chapter of our lives, go out there and become proud of who you’ve become.”

Students remembered Priska Greer, a student who passed away during her freshman year and would have graduated with the class of 2022, by wearing a sticker on their mortar boards and participating in a moment of silence during the ceremony.

This year’s commencement was the 132nd in the School’s history.
