Graduates from Young Harris College’s Class of 2025 walked the stage Saturday, culminating years of education and earning their degrees. Close to 200 students graduated at Saturday’s ceremony on Young Harris College campus.

“I want to welcome everyone to Commencement, a time to celebrate and recognize the hard work of all these graduates,” said Dr. John Wells, Young Harris College president. “And I congratulate all of you, both the students, the parents, and faculty that have taken part in this historic point in their journey.”

Commencement capped a week of activity, ranging from the annual Senior Reception to a Baccalaureate Service. The Commencement ceremony, held in the Harp Recreation and Commencement Center, began with the traditional awards given to students recognizing their academic efforts.

Included in the college graduates was Katherine Gallagher of Normandy. She was awarded a BS.
