Featured Events: High School Graduations
High school graduations took place last week, and while the weather wasn’t entirely cooperative for the outdoor ceremonies, nothing could dampen the excitement and pride of our students, staff, family and friends as they celebrated the culmination of our graduates’ PreK-12 experience. Please visit the Graduation page of our website to see photos and videos* of the ceremonies, and please join us in wishing the Class of 2022 all the best in their future endeavors! (*Photos and videos will be posted as they are processed, and should all be up by Friday, June 17.) We are so proud of you! #ProudtobeHSD
