A close-up view of Native American graduates in caps and gowns at a graduation ceremony. The central graduate wears a decorated cap featuring a detailed beaded design of a Native figure in purple, white, and gold, bordered with gold thread and adorned with two large white feathers hanging down the back. Other graduates nearby also wear traditional regalia elements with their academic attire. The scene conveys pride, cultural identity, and academic achievement.

As we celebrate the graduates of 2025, I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations on this extraordinary achievement. Your resilience, dedication, and perseverance have brought you to this important milestone, and your success reflects your determination and the unwavering support of the entire Bureau of Indian Education community. 

Together, we continue to improve our graduation rates, and this is a powerful sign of what is possible when we work together with purpose and commitment. This progress is a testament to the strength and promise of our communities. 

Education is the foundation of opportunity, and it is essential to self-determination and the future of tribal nations. As you move forward, carry the knowledge, skills, and cultural strength that will guide your journey and uplift those around you. Always be proud of who you are and thank your family and friends that have supported you.  We are proud of each one of you.

Congratulations to the class of 2025.
