The River Valley community gathered to celebrate 100 graduates Saturday, May 30, in Spring Green, as the Class of 2026 earned its diplomas. A bright summer morning dawned as friends and family from the region made their way to the high school. The gymnasium was at full capacity as each graduate walked across the stage to receive a diploma and flowers.
River Valley School District Superintendent Loren Glasbrenner did the traditional “turning of the tassel” for each graduate, moving it from the right to the left side on their mortarboards in recognition of their graduation.

Behind her, Lucas Thatcher, administrative building coordinator for River Valley Junior High and High School, shakes hands with Andrew Brown. (Photo by Joe Block)
