Bowie High School had this year's largest graduating class in the district, with 663 seniors crossing the stage.

Students, their friends and families filled the seats at the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center this afternoon to celebrate graduates from Premier at Lanier and Travis high schools.

Fifty-five students crossed the stage to receive their diplomas and complete their high school careers. For some, they were the first in their families to do so. 

Paulita Zuniga, campus director of the program at Lanier, said one word—perseverance—best described the graduates. 

The Lanier High School class of 2015 crossed the stage at the Frank Erwin Center today to the sound of cheering from friends and families.

A proud group of 270 Vikings became official Lanier alumni, joining the likes of AISD Trustee Paul Saldaña and Nyle Maxwell, former mayor of Round Rock.

Salutatorian Sania Razzak thanked her family for their support and gave encouraging words to her classmates. "We are not just individual students. We are family. We have a bright future ahead. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

Congratulations to the Jaguars' classes of 2015 for continuing to reach new heights, while strengthening their schools' proud traditions of excellence in academics and athletics!

LBJ Early College High School and the Liberal Arts and Science Academy graduated 149 and 230 seniors, respectively, at the Frank Erwin Center.

Together, the graduating classes have earned $27.2 million in merit-based scholarships.

More than 400 members of the Anderson High School class of 2015 crossed the stage today at the Frank Erwin Center, signaling the end of their high school careers.

Principal Donna Houser detailed a long list of the students' accomplishments, including that the top 50 percent of the class has a GPA of 3.8 or higher.

"This groupd of students has achieved a great deal, but more than that, they're great people," Houser said.

She also praised the students' support of each other and others, highlighting their more than 1,000 hours of community service.

The Austin High Maroon Class of 2015 walked across the stage to receive their diplomas applauded by hundreds of family members and friends.

A small electrical fire prompted an evacuation, which interrupted the ceremony. But students and families proved they were truly "Loyal Forever" by returning and completing the awarding of diplomas. 

As a class, the Austin High seniors have been awarded $10.5 million in college scholarships.

The following seniors were among those recognized for their achievement at the graduation ceremony:

Travis High School Principal Ty Davidson had heartfelt parting words for seniors tonight as they graduated in a ceremony at the Frank Erwin Center.

"You are not alone on this journey," Davidson told them. "Once a rebel, always a rebel."

Rebels have a lot to celebrate. Eighty-five percent of the graduating class applied to four-year colleges, 101 took AP and/or dual-cedit classes and seniors earned more than $1.5 million in college scholarships.

The Navy JROTC went to state for the first time in more than 15 years, and the one-act play was named UIL district runner-up.

Students also earned more than 300 state licenses in areas that included automotive technology, cosmetology, computer science and construction.
