Seniors unite one last time at graduation Thursday, May 24, it happened. For seniors, twelve years of hard work final- ly paid off. It seemed like they would never make it, like all their efforts were useless. But that night, when the stands filled, they were recognized and praised and the crowd's cheers made the twelve years worthwhile. Planning for graduation began as ear- ly as April. First they ordered caps and gowns and placed their tassels in their cars to let everyone know they were mighty seniors. Next they ordered an- nouncements and mailed them off in early May. Thursday morning practice was held, and finally the night arrived. The graduating seniors met in the main building and helped each other with their caps. Seniors graduating with honors were recognized with NHS stoles and medals of honor for having a 90 average or above. After the ceremony, even though they were asked not to, seniors threw up their caps to show their excitement at having completed 12 years of schooling.
