The song definitely encourages dancing, so the Chargers got one last dance in together before heading out into the world as the Class of 2025. Edison graduated 430 students during the ceremony.

Edison ASB President Ben Berger shared remarks with the crowd.

“As difficult as the low points or the not-so-fun times of high school were, I can say I wouldn’t trade them for the world,” Berger said. “Seating charts that placed me farther from my friends brought me closer to new ones. My time spent riding the bench on [the] baseball [team] may not have been so fun, but I grew my friendships and character through those inactive innings.”

“Thank you to all in the stands for being here today, one last time before it’s time to go,” Morris said. “Thank you for the early mornings, the late nights, the pep talks and even the tough love. Graduates, they have been your ride-or-die squad since day one, and no matter how far you go from here, they’ll always be your home team.”
