Cody Menges (left) keeps it real, Lathom Kelley (right) keeps it stylish and Cole Payne keeps it photo-bombin’.

Ever-graceful soccer star Kirsten Pelroy exits, 13 years worth of work in her left hand.

“We’re done!” Mitchell Losey (left) and T.J. Stream bring it to a close.

It’s official.

After a day or two of online arguing with the underclassmen over who was and wasn’t a senior at this point in time, the Coupeville High School Class of 2016 officially departed Friday night.

Speeches were made, tears and hugs were exchanged, and diplomas were handed out, while travelin’ photo man John Fisken clicked away.

The pics above are courtesy him.

He’s also put together a collection of EVERY SINGLE Wolf grad getting their diploma over at his personal website.

Rockin’ the new head gear.

Finding long-forgotten treasures in their 5th grade time capsule.

Their future’s so bright, they have to wear shades.

Possibly emotionally fragile moms Eileen Stone (left) and Kristin Hurlburt keep it together long enough to enjoy a bit of breakfast.

“We’re outta here! Almost…”

This is the end.

Well, the beginning of the end, at least.

As they sit a little over 24 hours away from graduation, the Coupeville High School Class of 2016 is busy checking off the various end-of-school activities, and wanderin’ photo man John Fisken is there to document it all.

Thursday brought the annual Senior Parade and Senior Breakfast, and with them, came the rapid click-click-click of the hardest-working cameras in the biz.

The photos above are courtesy Fisken, and we thank him for sending them our way.

Miss Awesome gets her diploma!!

Claire Ure: American Legend. (John Fisken photo)

This is a brief detour.

We’re taking a moment away from Coupeville, and sports, to pay tribute to one of the nicest people to ever walk the face of this Earth.

Claire Ure graduates from Oak Harbor High School tonight, and, while I won’t be there sweltering with the masses who watch her make the walk to get the diploma, I want to wish her the absolute best.

Because that’s what she is — the absolute best.

Miss Ure … OK, we’ll call you Claire Bear for a second, cause you can’t throw anything at me if I’m not there … always know how much everyone adores you.

You are a bright, shining light, full of goodness and cheer and kindness and wonder, all wrapped up in one intelligent, sweet-natured young woman.

As you move on, finishing your last months at my former employer, Christopher’s on Whidbey, before heading off to hair school and the big world out there, remember this:

You are special, Claire. You are wonderful. You are everything good in the world.

Everyone who has spent time with you loves you and wishes you an incredible life.

Go be awesome every single day. Or, in other words, just be yourself.

Micky “Two Fists” LeVine (left) now has photographic proof she’s taller than mom Joline. She is pleased.

McKayla Bailey, the one true Photo Queen, with her court, (l to r) Shank, Aaron Trumbull, Walstad and Carson Risner.

“Please, dear God, how loooooong can this rehearsal go on?”

Ryan Freeman shares his big moment with his parents.

Never afraid of the camera. Ever.

“We’re outta here!!” Julia Myers sends us to the exit.

And they’re done.

Coupeville High School’s Class of 2015 officially graduated Friday, a class of top scholars and athletes and really impressive young women and men.

As they prepared for departure, one lone photographer, the plucky Shelli Trumbull, broke the pre-graduation media blackout (word is she snuck through a side door and hid under the bleachers, surviving for two days on stray popcorn left over from basketball season) and captured these exclusive behind-the-scenes pics.

Like the students she has documented over the years, she’s a champ.

Ridin’ proud!!

Julia Myers and Joel Walstad get ready to roll out for Thursday’s CHS senior parade. (John Fisken photos)

Three cheerleaders in one car! It’s (l to r) Amanda Foley, Bella Cedillo and Kylie Burdge.

Micky LeVine gets chauffeured by Matt Shank.

Catching some rays are (l to r) Marisa Etzell, Hailey Hammer and four-time state golf tourney vet Christine Fields.

Aaron Trumbull (left) and Ashlyn Miller smile for the camera, while Oscar Liquidano is busy watching the road.

Cassidy Rydell (left) and Brittani Wilkinson bring out their best smiles.

Aaron Curtin (front left) and Josh Bayne (back) grip their seats. They’ve seen Kyle Bodamer drive before.

McKayla Bailey takes Carson Risner out for an afternoon drive, in her bad-ass truck. Cause Bailey’s go big or go home.

Maddie Big Time, aka Madeline Strasburg, rolls out in style as CJ Roberts pilots the open road.

Tomorrow they graduate. Today, they rolled out, loud ‘n proud, one last time as a group.

Coupeville High School’s Class of 2015 hit the streets of Cow Town for the annual senior parade, and John Fisken was hanging around on a street corner when they passed, so we got these snappy pics.

And while not every Wolf senior is in these photos (it’s not that small of a school…), these nine portraits give you a good overview of the grads-to-be.

Successful in the classroom and on the athletic fields, they have acquitted themselves quite nicely.

Roll on’, ’15ers, roll on.
