The class of 2025 received a classic send-off Thursday as more than 500 students from Claremont High, San Antonio High, and Claremont Adult School were awarded their high school diplomas. About 40% of CHS grads will attend a California college, with others headed all over the country to Brown University, Davidson College, Penn State, Princeston, and many others, including the Claremont Colleges. The weather was picture-perfect, with temperatures in the low 70s and a cool breeze flowing throughout the 90-minute ceremony. Courier photos /Peter Weinberger
