Each Bluffton High School graduating class has its own personality. Each carries its own identity.

Take number 136 -  the 2017 graduating class. Born in an earlier century; graduating in another.

They carry familiar Bluffton surnames of Basinger, Burkholder, Geiser, Huber, Klingler, Koontz, Schmutz, Schumacher, Steiner, Stratton and others.

They carry names that join the Bluffton cannon of surnames, including Tatarkov, Talwar, Spiridigliozzi, Kirkendall, Hill, Chancey, Bicknell and others.
