The time has come - our school year is coming to a close, and it is time to celebrate our 8th grade students for completing their middle school years and transitioning to high school. We are so proud of the work our students have done - they’ve persevered through a number of hardships with the pandemic, and they have continued to remain positive and productive through it all. We are excited to honor them as they prepare for this next stage. 

Our 8th Grade Promotion ceremony will be held on the EM3 campus on the morning of (Tuesday, 6/11/24), by individual teams. As we are being mindful of our capacity guidelines, each student will be guaranteed four (4) free tickets to claim. For families that require more than 4 seats, additional guests can enter during the seating time for the unticketed persons. The dress code for the event will be dressy casual (within our typical dress code regulations).
