Boyne City High School

Today the graduating Class of 2026 spent their Senior Activity Day at Boyne Mountain and at Veterans Park. This years special group of seniors came up with the nostalgic idea of re-creating their elementary field day, complete with competitions, prize ribbons, and some fun in the wooden park. They then traveled to Boyne Mountain for lunch and activities such as zip lining, paintball, disc golf, and swimming, culminating in a class picture on the sky bridge. A special thank you to Adam Rase and the entire Boyne Mountain staff, the Lions Club, Marty Moody, Mike McShane, and the 4th grade staff for providing such a wonderful day for these seniors as they look forward to graduation on May 31st! #boynecares
