Luxemburg-Casco High School graduates 152 in its Class of 2025

LUXEMBURG, Wis. – The Luxemburg-Casco High School Class of 2025, comprised of 152 students, will receive its diplomas on May 21 at 6:30 p.m. during a commencement ceremony held in the main high school gymnasium.

Gavin Knudson, son of April Smith and Matthew Knudson of Luxemburg, is the valedictorian of the Class of 2025. Katherine Ledvina, daughter of Jessica and Joshua Ledvina of Luxemburg, is the salutatorian.

“Congratulations to the Luxemburg-Casco Class of 2025,” says Principal Tyson Tlachac. “We believe this year’s graduates will go on to achieve many things in their lives, along with impacting their communities. As I know myself, you are always welcome to come home and you will be Spartans forever no matter where you are!”

Based on the 146 students who reported their post-graduate plans, there are three primary pathways: 48 percent (70 students) of this year’s graduating class will be furthering their education at a four-year, post-secondary institution; 30 percent (44 students) will be continuing their studies at a technical college or trade school; and 22 percent (32 students) of the class will be directly entering the workforce.

Of the 70 students electing a four-year college, the majority (57) will be continuing their education at a University of Wisconsin System institution; the top choices are UW-Green Bay (14 students), UW-La Crosse (11), UW-Platteville (6), UW-Eau Claire (5) and UW Oshkosh (5). Seven graduating students will be attending a private college, and six graduates have chosen an out-of-state university.

Nearly all of the 40 students going on to a technical school – 38 – will be attending Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. Three of the four students selecting a vocational school will be studying cosmetology, while the fourth is attending an aviation school.

More than half of the 110 graduates going onto a two- or four-year college – 61 – will be undertaking their studies within Northeast Wisconsin.

With Luxemburg-Casco High School having the highest Youth Apprenticeship participation rate in Wisconsin, it is no surprise that more than one in five Class of 2025 members are directly entering the workforce (32 graduates), many with their YA employer, including three as apprentices in plumbing.

At the graduation ceremony, 16 Honor Students will be recognized for representing the Top 10 percent of their graduating class. They are:
