The countdown is on for the B-L High School Class of 2025! As seniors wrap up their final days on campus, the excitement is building for a week full of celebrations and milestones. 🎉
Festivities kick off on Thursday, May 15th with a Baccalaureate Service at Leesville Methodist Church at 7 pm. Then, on Friday, May 16th, two big events are happening -- Panther Prowl and College/Career Signing Day!
PANTHER PROWL and SIGNING DAY DETAILS
What is the Panther Prowl? It’s a beloved tradition where our seniors don their caps and gowns, board buses, and take one final journey through each of Lexington Three’s school buildings. This special event allows them to reconnect with former teachers and serves as a powerful source of inspiration for our younger Panthers as they work toward their own graduation milestones.
Community members are invited to cheer on the Panther Prowl buses from safe, public locations along the route. (See the graphic for more details.) Please keep in mind that this is not a parade—buses will not stop along the way except at the designated school campuses. For safety reasons, only students and staff will be allowed inside school buildings during the Panther Prowl. Parents, family members, and other guests must remain outside at all times.
The Panther Prowl kicks off at B-L High School at 8:30 a.m., then continues to B-L Primary School, B-L Elementary School, and concludes at B-L Middle School. The exact travel route can be found in the attached graphic below.
Following The Prowl, seniors will return to B-L High School for College and Career Signing Day, held in the new B-L High School gymnasium. Parents, guardians, and family members are invited to attend this exciting celebration. Guests should plan to be in the gym by 9:30 a.m. on Friday, May 16th.

SENIOR AWARDS NIGHT and GRADUATION DETAILS
Next week, we’ll celebrate student accomplishments at the Senior Awards Ceremony, set for Wednesday, May 21st at 6 pm in the Fine Arts Center, paving the way for the much-anticipated Commencement Ceremony on Friday, May 23rd at 7 pm.
Graduation will be held in the beautiful new B-L High School gymnasium and is a ticketed event. To ensure a smooth and respectful ceremony, all ticket holders are asked to be seated by 6:55 PM, as the gym doors will close promptly at that time. Please note that no one will be admitted after the doors have closed, even with a ticket.
For those who are late or without graduation tickets, overflow seating will be available in the Fine Arts Center, and the entire ceremony will be livestreamed on YouTube. The Commencement Ceremony livestream can be found by clicking here.
Congratulations to the B-L High School Class of 2025!
