When the Hallways Go Quiet

On the eve of graduation at Portage Northern High School, four friends: Carmen, Vig, Ace, and Aanya, wander the hushed corridors one final time. They settle outside their classroom to reminisce about the four years that shaped their high school experience, cherishing the moments that made it special. As they converse, vignettes featuring other seniors unfold in montages, capturing the shared journeys of the Class of 2026. When they rise to leave, Vig lingers at the doorway to watch a wave of younger students sprinting in, ready to start their own journey. In that moment, he understands that their time at the school may be ending, but a fresh chapter is already beginning for others.
