2024 Studenten is a joyous occasion

Skellefteå's graduating class celebrated their big day with a mix of sunshine and rain showers. Despite these showers, the students were gleeful. "I have never been happier," said Lea Malmén.

At Anderstorpsgymnasiet, a large crowd of relatives had gathered to witness the graduation ceremony's celebratory run-out.

Right after the celebratory dash out at Anderstorpsgymnasiet, Linn Öhlund expressed her mixed emotions:

– It feels really great! It was also nerve-wracking. But it's fun that we get to finish on a high note.

By that time, in the morning, most students had already been up for several hours. They celebrated with a pre-graduation breakfast and were looking forward to the festivities. Hugo Stenlund from class SA3A felt the celebration was "bittersweet."

– There's a lot to look forward to in life, Hugo said.

– At the same time, we've been going to school together for a very long time and for the most part, I've loved it. It's sad to part from such wonderful friends.

After the celebratory dash out, it was time for the traditional truck ride through the city.

The art students proudly displayed their self-designed banner, a collaborative effort featuring a large butterfly holding a star in the center, as explained by Alicia Rudin:

– Everyone got a square to paint. And in the middle, I made a big butterfly with a star on it.
