6th Grade Graduation

Our 6th graders are growing up! Completing their last classes at Orange Beach Elementary School, they are ready and prepared to take on middle school. After receiving awards and recognized for honors, they were "clapped out" as they exited the halls. These students have excelled in countless ways, and we can't wait to see what they will do. Next stop, OBMHS!

Baccalaureate

At Orange Beach High School, the Senior Class of 2023 chose to preserve a tradition begun by the Class of 2022 to have a student-led Baccalaureate Service. Instead of inviting a speaker, our seniors elected to address or perform for their classmates themselves. Offering words of advice, encouragement, tributes, and farewells, this ceremony is one of the most special graduation events. Seniors personalities shone brightly, as they took to the stage for their fellow graduates and honored guests They spoke about overcoming obstacles together, being the firsts in so many ways, about the fun memories, and the excitement of what is to come. Most importantly, they remembered the relationships formed with each other and with their teachers.

"I remember walking into this school on my first day, nervous and unsure of what to expect But as soon as I walked through the doors, I was greeted with open arms by my classmates They welcomed me with warm smiles and friendly hellos, and I knew right then and there that Orange Beach was a special place " - Eliza

"Orange Beach will always have a special place in my heart because I grew up here. Some of the people I’m sitting with today are the same people I was sitting with at our kindergarten graduation. I’m so thankful my parents chose to raise me in this small community that was filled with nothing but love and support. " - Audrey

"I believe that is truly a legacy. To overcome all obstacles and stick together. To put the bad days behind us and keep moving forward... We leave the underclassmen with an example of what it means to keep pushing forward We kept our heads high and finally reached the end of our race We created a legacy " - Cate Courtney
