Every year on the last day of school, the eighth grade students from Lake Oswego Middle School cross Country Club Road to literally, and symbolically, transition from middle school to high school. They’re welcomed by the administrators of Lake Oswego High School to get their first experience as a Laker.

Even while their school facility is rebuilt on top of the hill, the Lake Oswego High School class of 2029 crossed the road beneath two balloon archways to applause and enthusiastic cheers from the Lake Oswego community Wednesday, June 11.

Congrats to the graduates!
