PHOTO: Sauk Prairie Class of 2026 enjoys outdoor ceremony, fireworks


Sauk Prairie High School’s outdoor graduation ceremony on Friday, May 22, was picture-perfect — with clear skies, comfortable temperatures and a setting sun in the west—and ended, as it has as of late, with a spectacular fireworks show. The 202 graduates, identified by faculty speaker and English teacher Alex Dorman as being the “least sentimental” she has seen, more or less took their graduation in stride before a packed Eagles Stadium. With Principal Chad Harnish proud of their “efficient” ceremony, the night ended after a little more than an hour as dusk descended. (Photo by Joe Block)
