Berkley Schools Celebrates the Class of 2025 with Clap Outs

The Berkley High School seniors said goodbye to BHS and to their teachers by walking the halls one last time during the Senior Clap Out on May 20, 2025. Seniors started by gathering to watch the Senior Video, a collection of photos and videos from their time in Berkley Schools. Afterward, they dispersed into the hallway where they walked through a clap out, greeted by their friends and beloved staff members cheering them on. This emotional final lap is an annual tradition.

Seniors were also invited for a final clap out at their elementary and middle schools. During the afternoon of May 20, seniors gathered at their elementary schools to walk through the halls one last time, greeted by clapping students and teachers. The seniors found their former teachers, gave hugs and high-fives, and enjoyed looking at the buildings to see what was different and what remained the same. After the elementary clap out, seniors were encouraged to then visit their middle schools and enjoy a clap out there as well. This tradition began in 2023.
