Definitely
High Hopes (Panic at the Disco) and
I'm On Top of the World (Imagine Dragons)

I’d add Life Is A Highway because it’s hard to find songs from their school days that are somewhat uplifting and have acceptable lyrics.

Not to mention most of these are moldy oldies from before they were born.

I cannot stand the term graduation being used for ceremonies other than high school or college.

I am a middle school teacher and at my school they use the term transition ceremony instead.
