They don’t have very far to travel.

With their passages ceremony going down Wednesday night, 79 Coupeville eighth graders officially leave behind middle school and move on to high school, while remaining on the same campus.

Making the transition easier, several of the Wolves have already competed in high school sports.

That list includes Zariyah Allen and Cami Van Dyke, who both started for a CHS softball team which won league and district titles and went to the state tourney this spring.

Now, as they and their classmates move forward together, the future is a bright one.

Many move on, some get spotlight

This one comes with an asterisk.

There are three graduation/passages ceremonies in Coupeville this spring, with 12th graders having exited Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, 8th graders bounce from middle to high school and 5th graders move on up from the elementary school to CMS, with both of those events slated for this Wednesday.

With high school and middle school, the list of names I was given to publish are fairly complete.

With this one, featuring the elementary school kids, not so much.

There are 91(!) students making the move to 6th grade, but the parents of 27 of those children opted not to allow their offspring’s name to be released to “non-district media” when they went through the enrollment process.

So be it.

If you read this article and notice your child — a 5th grade grad — is missing, that was your decision.

Now, if you want to change your mind, as some parents did last year, contact the elementary school secretaries and let them know, and they’ll send me updates with which to tweak this story.

If not, again, so be it. You’re the parent, not me, and I respect that.

But, for now, here are the 5th grade grads we can give a moment in the spotlight to:

 

The (partial) Class of 2033:

Sandra Andrade
Lindsey Ashby

It’s the ceremony too big for just one photographer.

Saturday’s Coupeville High School graduation attracted a wide range of shutterbugs, all snapping away as the Class of 2026 made its final walk.

Following on the heels of our previous collection, which came to us from Melanie Wolfe, this assortment of pics emerged from the camera of fellow yearbook photographer Kauri Hamilton.

Along for the ride was future CHS grad Melanie Wolfe, who snapped the pics seen above and below.
