We are actively monitoring the weather for tomorrow evening’s graduation ceremony. We will make a decision on Wednesday morning and communicate all information through various avenues. If the location is moved indoors, graduates will still receive the same number of graduation tickets. Ten tickets will be issued for access to the competition gym, where the ceremony will be held. The remaining five tickets will permit entry into the Sue Walker Performing Arts Center, where a live stream will be available. In addition, a link to access the live stream will be shared on Wednesday afternoon. Thank you for your patience and support as we all strive to make this a memorable evening for our students.

We hope you will join us for a retirement celebration for Mrs. Laura Odneal. Congratulations!
