During the graduation ceremony, there is special section when each senior's mentors and/or pastors pray over them individually. Please ask your mentors and pastors to be a part of your special evening! Don't wait too late.  |

In the graduation, there is a very meaningful part of the ceremony where parents and/or siblings and mentors give a blessing over each senior. This is done individually on a microphone for all to hear. Each senior may choose who they want to speak over them. It is typically and very emotionally part of the ceremony. Prayers, poems, verses, and "warm fuzzy thoughts" are often reminisced. Each senior's speakers have 3 minutes MAX to speak.
Please inform your parents and/or the people that you would like to speak over you!

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the Senior class photo shoot yesterday! I know that it was short notice and appreciate your effort to come! With the rain downpour on Sunday, and the weather being gloomy over downtown all week, I was praying for no rain...and we got it!!!
The shots turned out great! You can purchase CD's of all the shots for $5 with no copyright. You can use it to print as many prints as you like, or post them on your Facebooks, Myspaces, etc.
