As the class of 2025 is rolling out, new adventures are rolling in. While on graduation day seniors will be walking across the stage, during graduation night, they’ll be walking into the All-Knighter. The All-Knighter is a massive event where seniors spend one final night together as a class before heading off to take on the world.
“I just feel it’s good to have a little school spirit, this is the last time I’m going to see 99% of the class,” senior Kevin McGuire said. “It’s just going to be like, this is it, you’re done.”
This year the All-Knighter is going to be held at Kokomo Joe’s, a local arcade that has bowling, laser tag and many more activities. The All-Knighter starts at 11:00 pm on June 7, and won’t end until 5:00 am the next day. During this time seniors will have access to all the amenities at Kokomo Joe’s as well as a number of special activities put together by the All-Knighter Committee.
“We want you guys to be a little bit surprised,” Jill Bass, one of the members of the All-Knighter Committee said. “You walk in and you have a really good time, but you don’t know every detail of what’s going to happen. The All-Knighter is the final chance for everyone to be together and relish their final moments of high school. The All-Knighter costs $125 to attend and is limited to only current FHN seniors.
“The people I have talked to, they have also said that it’s fun,” senior Nathan Anderson said. “You also get a lot of prizes. They do a lot of giveaways and raffles.”
The All-Knighter is set up every year by a group of parent volunteers. The All-Knighter Committee typically consists of mostly parents of current seniors, but it also includes a few parents of underclassmen who are looking to make sure that their children have an excellent All-Knighter when it gets to their turn. The All-Knighter Committee meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month to plan the event. They also hold numerous fundraisers throughout the year and manage the snack table during lunches to raise money for the All-Knighter.
“I got involved with the All-Knighter because it was a good way to give back to the school and also participate in something that would benefit my kids and all the kids in their class,” Bass said.
