Media Release
Scholars Celebrated Across District
The final day of the 2024-25 school year was filled with pride, joy, and heartfelt emotion as Compton Unified marked the promotions of scholars from campuses across the district. Families, educators, and friends gathered at school sites to honor these important educational milestones and cheer on the scholars as they stepped into the next chapter of their academic journeys.
At middle schools and K-8 schools across the district—such as Bunche, Bursch, Davis, Enterprise, Walton, and Whaley—8th grade scholars were recognized for their hard work, growth, and resilience as they prepared to transition to high school.
These ceremonies were powerful affirmations of our students' commitment to excellence, and the unwavering support of their families and school communities.
Kelly Elementary celebrated its 5th grade class with pride, as students were promoted to middle school with cheers, applause, and heartfelt encouragement. These celebrations echoed across the district at Compton Unified’s elementary schools, where 5th grade promotion ceremonies honored students who are ready to take their next big step to middle school.
The 2024-25 school year was one filled with excitement, achievement, and meaningful growth. From academic excellence to arts and athletics, our scholars have experienced a fulfilling year supported by passionate educators and a dedicated community. It has been a year to remember, and today's celebrations were the perfect way to close it out.
Promotion is more than a ceremony—it's a rite of passage. For our 5th grade students, it signals the beginning of greater independence and opportunity in middle school. For our 8th graders, it marks the start of their high school journey, where they’ll continue to explore their potential and prepare for college, careers, and life beyond the classroom.
We are so proud of every scholar who crossed the stage today, and we are excited for all that lies ahead.
