The End of an Era: Time for Seniors To Soak Up Some Last Minute Memories

As the school year comes to an end and seniors are facing the end of their high school career, Mrs. Degro, Mrs. Geuther, Mr. Carr, and Mr. Morgese gathered the senior class in the cafeteria on April 18th to discuss important events like graduation, senior trips, and other obligations that must be met.  Here is recap of everything seniors need to know in order enjoy all the last minute memories with friends:

Graduation & Requirements:

• Everyone will get 10 tickets for graduation; if you need more go to the main office and they will provide you with the correct amount.

• You must arrive for graduation no later than 5:30pm and the ceremony itself will begin at 6:30pm in the gymnasium

• Graduation practices are mandatory. If you can't make a practice, see someone in the main office to let them know. Otherwise, your spot will be taken out of the lineup during practice and removed during the ceremony. 

• Check your parent portal for any fines you may owe such as books, chromebooks, etc. Your fines will be totaled over the course of all 4 years. Whoever's name is on the portal next to the fine is who you owe the money to. If you do not pay your fines before graduation, you will get a cover with no diploma in it. 

• All yearbooks are FREE for seniors!

If you choose not to participate in a senior week activity you are required to be in school for that day for attendance. Senior week activities count as your attendance for each specific day so if you don't attend school or a senior week event, it will be marked as an unexcused absence. 

If you have any questions or concerns, see Mrs. Degro in room N305 or anyone in the main office! 

Congratulations Class of 2024 and I wish you the best of luck with wherever you go and whatever you pursue after high school!
