The school will celebrate the first graduation in less than one month. The alpha class’ excitement grows as June 3 nears.

“The most exciting thing is getting out into the world and showing your worth,” senior Tim McKenna said.

With only a few weeks left, seniors like Heather Woodworth have mixed emotions about leaving high school and moving on.

“I’m excited to finally start my life out and move on to a new chapter,” Woodworth said. “I will miss all of the people I know now and even people I got to never meet. It is the never-again part that gets me.”

Graduation will be held at the Cedar Park Center, Sunday June 3 at 1 p.m. That evening, seniors will have a chance to celebrate together at the Project Graduation party with check-in beginning at 10 p.m. The group will bus over to Main Event where graduates will have unlimited access to the games, bowling, miniature golf, rock climbing wall and laser tag. They will also have casino gambling games to play and a chance to win prizes at the end of the night. Students who register by Advocate of this week will receive an extra 10 tickets to play with.

“It keeps the seniors in a safe environment,” Project Grad coordinator Cherryll Price said. “Giving them a last time to see their friends, without any alcohol and drugs.”

For the seniors, this will be the final time to be with their friends and their whole class.

“There were many memorable memories,” senior Sabrina O’Lin said. “Experiences that you can take from high school and grow from.”
