The Bear Creek School honored 44 graduates at Saturday’s commencement ceremony at First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue.

It was the Redmond school’s 11th graduating class and first class to hold its graduation ceremony off school grounds.

The keynote address was done by Dr. Scott Dudley, senior pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue.

Rob Sorensen, chair of the history department, was chosen as the faculty speaker by the graduating class.

Seven graduates — Abby Gomulkiewicz, Joey Domingo, Kira Geiger, Domi DuBois, Gannon McCahill, Jenny Price and Erica Leuenberger — all spoke at the ceremony, reflecting back on their time at Bear Creek.

The Upper School Band and Choir also performed during the ceremony.
