Academic and Military Signing Day
Our Academic and Military Celebration is Thursday, April 20, 2023. This event is intended to honor our graduating seniors who have been awarded scholarships for their outstanding academic accomplishments. Students who have signed up to enter the military will also be celebrated on this day. School staff along with members of the military will be in attendance to present you with an academic certificate and provide a photo opportunity for you and your family. We will be celebrating our student's academic achievements in a ceremony from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM in the Events Center Gym.
Students will need to provide documentation of their academic achievement to the counselor’s office by Thursday, April 6, 2023, to participate. This information will also be used for the graduation program. This celebration is not required but if you would still like your scholarship information listed on the graduation program, submit a copy of your scholarship information to the counselor’s office by Friday, April 28, 2023. Acceptable proof of scholarship can be a printed-out email or a letter/certificate from the school that has the students name and name of scholarship. Military cords for graduation will be given to students that have signed before graduation. Please use the link below to sign up for the April 20th celebration. PLEASE RESPOND ONLY ONE TIME PER STUDENT.
