Who

Seniors who have been cleared by summer counselors and their home schools to graduate; this may be determined as late as July 13, 2012.  Summer High School Counselors are doing their best to determine who has enough credits to graduate.  If you go through the line and do not have enough credits to graduate, then your diploma will be held by your high school until you complete the required credits.

When

Thursday, July 26, 2012 — Because of the increased number of graduates this summer, it is necessary to have two commencement ceremonies so that each students may invite seven (7) guests. Guest tickets may be picked up from your summer Counselor beginning July 23, 2012.
