The Class of 2025 Honor Graduates are recognized at Class Night on May 28, 2025.
On May 28, the Troy High School community gathered in the TMS Auditorium to honor the Class of 2025 during the annual Class Night Awards Ceremony. Seniors were recognized for achievements in academics, the arts, athletics, leadership, and community service, with more than 90 awards distributed worth a total of more than $295,000.
Principal Joshua Monk opened the evening, followed by performances of the National Anthem and Alma Mater by the Senior Choir. Teachers, alumni, and community members presented scholarships and awards, celebrating student excellence across disciplines.
Top-ranked students were awarded Principal’s High Honors, and the evening closed with a heartfelt yearbook dedication by co-editors Adwoa Boakye and Soorya Thiagarajan, who recognized retiring staff members Ms. Blair and Ms. Karanassiu.
