Lutheran High School Class of 2026 Graduation in Metairie

Lutheran High School held its graduation ceremony for the Class of 2026 on Saturday, May 16, at Williams Boulevard Baptist Church in Metairie.

Tyrone Tedesco, a 1979 Lutheran High graduate, told the Class of 2026 that attending a small school need not limit their futures. He urged them to use their Lutheran High foundation as a launching pad for success.

Salutatorian Audria Kleyle reflected on the memories, challenges and bonds her class formed. Valedictorian Frimpoma Anim compared the graduating class to a puzzle. "By weaving their lives together, they had made such a meaningful impact on each other and created a beautiful picture," she said. Drawing on the class Bible verse from Jeremiah 29:11, Anim said: "The Lord has a plan for every single one of us, and I can't wait to see the outcome."

Lutheran High refers to its graduates and current students as Gryphons.
