The following are Senior Shout-Outs purchased by families of new Wayland High School graduates.

Congratulations to Zach and all of his friends and classmates! Our pride in you knows no bounds. Stay strong, stay kind, and remember to celebrate the present even as you dream of the future. We love you!

Congratulations to our loving daughter Katelyn Chirayath and the entire Class of WHS-2025!

It’s time to let the little birds fly
Away to soar high in the sky
To chase their dreams,
Fulfill their aspirations,
And to find their destiny on their
own.

But know that your home is here
Rooting for you all the way;
Waiting for you with open arms
If you ever need to stop and rest
No questions asked.
— Mom, Dad and Kelvin

Olivia — through every script, every character, and every carefully crafted story, you have shown us the power of creativity, courage, and voice. On stage under the spotlight or behind the scenes with a pen in hand, you’ve brought imagination to life and reminded us all of the beauty in storytelling. The stage is bigger now, but so are your talents. We can’t wait to see where your story goes next.
— Mom and Dad

Congratulations, Max! We are so proud of you and excited to see what comes next. Stay determined — there is nothing that you can’t accomplish.
— Mom, Dad, Zackary, Nickolas and Jackson
