"We're outta here! Almost..."

“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.

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.

“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.

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.

61 Wolves are alumni now.

The Coupeville High School Class of 2014, which included star athletes, brilliant scholars and the single most talented young woman to ever go through the school — one Mekare Alora Bowen — donned their caps and gowns and made their final walk Friday Night.

And sure, they may have listened to speeches, turned their tassels, tossed their caps and hit the road for Disneyland, but their graduation isn’t official until their names hit the internet in bold type.
