We've been asked how many tickets the seniors will be getting this year, and we finally have your answer!
The Class of 2025 will receive...
17 tickets (9 floor, 8 bleacher)!
Tickets will be handed out with caps + gowns (check our prior posts for all the graduation dates and times!), provided all fees have been paid and/or school property returned.
(If anyone uses a wheelchair or is handicapped, please reach out to Dianna Dority, Graduation Coordinator.)

We've reached the time of year where things start moving very quickly, especially for our Seniors! This is a reminder that General Scholarship Applications and a number of local scholarships are due by the end of the school day on Thursday, May 1st - not counting today, that means just TEN school days until the deadline!
(Side Note: This deadline applies to the General Scholarship Application and a number of local scholarships. Students should always keep in mind that other available scholarships may have drastically different deadlines.)
Congratulations, Mr. Karcher!
