Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

For the first time in 8 years the Bartlesville High School had to hold its commencement ceremony indoors.

Pending severe weather caused the call to move indoors Friday evening. Nonetheless, BHS Site Principal LaDonna Chancellor congratulated the Class of 2019 in a packed Bruin Field House.

Speaking before her classmates was President of the Senior Body Aarya Ghonsagi.

Senior Class President Lane Cabler also had some words of wisdom and encouragement for his approximately 375 classmates that received their diplomas Friday night.

There were technical difficulties towards the end of Bartlesville High School’s Commencement that cut the ceremony short. Quick moving weather also caused the abrupt end.

In the end though, all students were accounted for and BHS made the proper moves to make Commencement a success once again. As Principal Chancellor has always said during graduation at BHS over the years, the graduating seniors will always be Bruins.
