Graduation Information
Campo Verde High School - Class of 2021
May 27, 2021
Baccalaureate: A moment Worth Experiencing
=========================================
Baccalaureate is a tradition that stems from England in the mid-1400s, where graduates from the prestigious Oxford University gathered to reflect upon their educational journey. While it was originally a religious ceremony in the United States, it has evolved into a non-denominational service where graduates can reflect upon their thirteen-year journey in one of their last moments together as a class.
Graduation day itself is a very full day, full of emotions and events, and attended by family and friends. Because graduation is often a whirlwind that is over before we even realize it has begun, baccalaureate becomes a time where students can more solemnly experience what it means to be a graduate in an uplifting and personalized ceremony. It is truly a moment in their lives that cannot be recreated, and all graduates are encouraged to attend. During this event, the CVHS Choir and Orchestra will perform.
The schedule has been adjusted for the Campo Verde baccalaureates to allow for more time in between ceremonies.
Families and friends may watch the previously recorded ceremony using a link that will be accessible on the Campo Verde High School website. You may access the ceremony via the website link below.
