EPHRATA — Tigers roamed marched in line down the central aisle to show off and collect high school diplomas Friday evening at 7 p.m.
This year’s Ephrata High School graduates totaled 277 with a variety of futures on their minds. Options included hitting the workforce, going to colleges scattered across the U.S. — and even one in Paris — and going to technical school or joining the military.
Regardless of their plans, the community showed up to support them and ensure that each grad knew their accomplishment was respected and their community was behind them.
Full coverage of all of the Basin graduations, including Ephrata's, will be compiled into a special edition of the Columbia Basin Herald after graduations are completed so that area graduates can have a keepsake that includes all of their friends from around Grant and Adams counties.

COLUMN: It’s amazing what you can learn ...
Four years ago, almost to the day, my wife and I closed on the first home either of us have owned, a stunningly Pepto-pink house in Ephrata with what we thought of at the time as “character.” It turns out, that character is really, in many ways, a lot of work. Work I hadn’t done much of since helping my dad out when I was a kid a few decades ago. Still though, all of the work I had to relearn or learn – thank goodness for the folks at Ace, Lowe’s and experts on YouTube – has been incredibly rewarding.
