Seniors prepare for upcoming events leading to graduation
All TUHS seniors recently attended an assembly where counselor, Tammy Sutherland, and principal, Mary Alice Finn explained the schedule of upcoming activities for seniors. The graduation ceremony on June 5 will be the final culmination of the upcoming events.
“All seniors were sent the ‘Road to Graduation’ packet via email” said Sutherland. Students should check that document for important dates and deadlines.
The last day to pick up local scholarship packets was Feb. 8. The deadline for turning in the scholarship packet and forms is Feb. 15 at 3:30 p.m.
“Grad Nite” at Disneyland is an opportunity to celebrate the upcoming graduation. The celebration will be from May 31-June 1 from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. The cost for attending is $150 and students can purchase tickets in the student store. Permission slips are required for all students. The deadline for purchasing tickets is March 22. No refunds will be given for tickets if students are unable to attend.
Honors Night will be held April 8 at 6:00 p.m. in the auditorium. Students will wear graduation gowns and dressy dance attire. This is the night that local scholarships will be awarded to students and the community is invited to celebrate their accomplishments.
