End of year - graduation/consolidation info

First of all, I want to thank you parents who have checked in with my blog to keep updated on HHS happenings. Thank you very much!

Graduation night is here!
Four years ago, we met the current senior class when they entered our doors as freshmen. I remember meeting many of them at our freshman scheduling and informational meeting while they were 8th graders. I am so proud of my Highland students and all they have accomplished! We, the counselors, look forward to sharing commencement night with our seniors tonight.

General information :
Seniors who are participating in commencement must be at Byrum Hall at Anderson University no later than 6:30pm tonight.
Letters are being placed in all senior packets that will be handed out tonight. The letters, which have information current as of Friday May 21st, indicate if a student is receiving a diploma or if they have outstanding work. If they have outstanding work, the paperwork indicated what credits are still required and correspondence paperwork will be included.
(all information below is available on the senior notes that went in grad packets)
Diplomas will be handed out at HHS on Tuesday June 1st during lunches which run from 10:15-11:45am.
