Graduation is this Friday at 1pm on the football field.

Rehearsal will be at 8:45 am Friday morning. If you are graduating with honors, you will be given your honor cords at rehearsal. All graduates will be given a card that states your name and degrees/certificates for Dr. Connell to read during the ceremony. At rehearsal, you have an opportunity to add a sentence to thank someone OR share your plans after graduation. One sentence will also be read by Dr. Lombardi.
