COLDSPRING — The Coldspring-Oakhurst High School Class of 2022 Commencement Ceremony was a beautiful event held at the newly renamed Berlin Bradford Stadium just before sunset on May 27.
Friends and family watched as seniors took their final walk down the aisle as high school students. The Processional was performed by the COHS band. The invocation was led by Top 10 senior Lilly Warwick, and the COHS Air Force JROTC/TX-20066 Color Guard presented the colors.
