04/16/2025 Today we had a senior meeting during AE. The slide show is embedded under the Documents tab above. I also put the link to the graduation agreement there as well. Please remeber that every senior must complete the survey found in Major Clarity. Info about that survey is in the slide show. Information abotu purchasing prom tickets is on slide 23.
03/26/2025 Update on tickets for graduation. We were told, for now, each Senior will receive 6 graduation tickets. The Senior graduating does not count as one of the 6. Any guest of any age must have a ticket. At issue here is parking. Due to construction, parking at the facility is limited. This means that each student will be issued one parking pass. We will transport students to the venue but students will be leaving with their families.
If you are participating in the Senior Walk, please remember to have a parent/guardian log in to powerschool and submit the permission slip for the "Senior Walk" through Power School Forms. https://sis.henrico.k12.va.us/public/home.html . Click on "Forms" in the menu, and complete the "Field Trip Form Specific to this event titles "HCPS Senior Walk". This is due by Thursday, March 27th.

For convocation, you may wear khakis. This is a kind of dress rehearsal for graduation. Students arrive by 9:15. Please ask your parents/Guardians to arrive no earlier than 9:30 as they will be parking in the bus loop and we will have busses until then.
We will have practice on Tuesday 10/8 around 10:15 and running through AE. You do not need your gown. Regular school clothes are appropriate.
