LPHS Commencement Class of 2019
Celebrating the 150th Graduating Class!
Congratulations, Class of 2019
Celebrating the 150th Graduating Class
The 150th graduation of LPHS is a milestone few other schools have reached. For 150 years LaPorte High School has been turning tassels! Congratulations to the Class of 2019 for this historic occasion.
Graduation is a time when an entire cohort of students celebrate a common achievement. The Class of 2019 is made up of a diverse group of students with various career and college plans. The commencement ceremony will be a special time to recognize their achievement of the state's graduation requirements for a diploma.
Graduation is different than an awards ceremony, and although it would be nice to celebrate individual accomplishments, the main purpose of the ceremony is to honor the graduates. Following tradition the top graduates of the class will be recognized individually. Other achievements are noted through honor cords or denoted in writing in the graduation pamphlet.
