Graduation season

 

Summer is so close, most Valley students can already taste the long days with little responsibility and endless hours without homework stretching out before them. But for eighth-graders and high school seniors across the Valley, there is still one last rite of passage: graduation.

It's a time to celebrate the accomplishment of hitting another milestone on the long journey to adulthood. It's a time for students to reflect on their years at a particular school with their classmates, school staff and families. It's a time to put on a party dress or sport coat covered by the classic long robe and signature square cap.

School graduations will be taking place all over the Valley for the next two weeks, including at elementary schools and preschools that celebrate commencements. Contact your child's school to find out how to obtain tickets.
