Graduation ceremonies galore

The annual rite of passage is upon us in Clark County. And we know every parent, grandparent and doting aunt and uncle will be snapping photos of graduates.

The Columbian wants to celebrate those graduates and graduation by sharing your photos with the community on columbian.com. Go to http://www.columbian.com/newstip and click on “submit a photo” to send us your photos of graduates, graduation parties and the latest in mortar board fashion. Please include the name of the graduate, the school and and honors the grad may have received.

June marks a new beginning for thousands of high school seniors.

Already, the Class of 2013 has begun to don caps and gowns — Firm Foundation Christian School’s four seniors graduated May 22; Seton Catholic College Preparatory High School’s graduation was held Friday. The “Pomp and Circumstance” will increase over the next two weeks as seniors at 32 more local high school programs take that proud culminating walk. This year’s final graduation takes place June 15.

On Sunday, The Columbian spotlighted a half dozen local seniors who feel a call — to their church, to their country, to a place or to a cause.

Today, we list all of the graduation ceremonies and honors graduates at three dozen local high schools and programs.

Some of the graduates will go on to college, others into the military, and others into the workforce. Wherever they go, they will take with them the best wishes and hopes of their families, friends and communities.
