We present $\sim1-4"$ resolution Very Large Array (VLA) observations of fourCH$_3$OH $J_2-J_1$-$E$ 25~GHz transitions ($J$=3, 5, 8, 10) along with 1.3~cmcontinuum toward 20 regions of active massive star formation containingExtended Green Objects (EGOs), 14 of which we have previously studied with theVLA in the Class~I 44~GHz and Class~II 6.7~GHz maser lines (Cyganowski et al.2009). Sixteen regions are detected in at least one 25~GHz line ($J$=5), with13 of 16 exhibiting maser emission. In total, we report 34 new sites ofCH$_3$OH maser emission and ten new sites of thermal CH$_3$OH emission,significantly increasing the number of 25~GHz Class I CH$_3$OH masers observedat high angular resolution. We identify probable or likely maser counterpartsat 44~GHz for all 15 of the 25~GHz masers for which we have complementary data,providing further evidence that these masers trace similar physical conditionsdespite uncorrelated flux densities. The sites of thermal and maser emission ofCH$_3$OH are both predominantly associated with the 4.5 $\mu$m emission fromthe EGO, and the presence of thermal CH$_3$OH emission is accompanied by 1.3~cmcontinuum emission in 9 out of 10 cases. Of the 19 regions that exhibit 1.3~cmcontinuum emission, it is associated with the EGO in 16 cases (out of a totalof 20 sites), 13 of which are new detections at 1.3~cm. Twelve of the 1.3~cmcontinuum sources are associated with 6.7~GHz maser emission and likely tracedeeply-embedded massive protostars.
