Change in date sparks questions
Seniors have a minor graduation setback this year. Graduation will be June 4 at Vets Auditorium instead of the end of May.
Vice Principal Mel Green helps the seniors plan and deal with senior events and fundraisers.
“Seniors will be graduating a little bit later this year because school started later. We had a verbal agreement with the state fair that we start later and Vets had a prior event, we couldn’t get the auditorium until that date,” Green said.
Senior Cody Sargent thinks it’s a big deal because seniors want to get out of here.
“I honestly think we are graduating later because we started later but it’s ridiculous our class always gets this crap,” Sargent said.
Although it may seem like a big change, Green doesn’t seem to think so.
“I don’t think it’s a problem, the main thing is that you guys are graduating,” Green said. “You will still have time to go on vacations and do the things you do in summer.”
Senior Mariah Goodson doesn’t think it will matter when it comes to prom planning and even planning.
“I don’t think anything will change. We just graduate later,” Goodson said.
Green clarifies that it will make no change to prom plans and that actually prom is actually earlier this year than it was last.
“It’s just a little bum in the road of May vs. June, some people may look at that and think June is summer and graduation is normally the end of May,” Green said. “What matters is the hard work of the senior class and their cooperation through this, it will make the year go by smoothly.”
Sargent thinks it’s not that big of a deal it just might mess with some things.
“Every graduating class has different goals and things they want to achieve,” Green said. “They choose what legacy they want to leave behind.”
