The next step for seniors
May 6, 2013
As the school year is beginning to wind down, students are getting anxious for summer to start. Every year a special group of students leave Lewis-Palmer and head off to the next step. Seniors have been working for thirteen years for one day, Graduation.
A lot of students have been in school with the rest of the 2013 graduating class since elementary school. There are 207 students in Lewis-Palmers 2013 graduating class. Seniors are graduating on May 24 at 3:30 P.M. Graduation will be held at Clune Arena at the Air Force Academy.
Graduation is a rehearsed event, earlier in the day students board a bus and head to Clune Arena to practice what will be occurring. They will then be doing a run through of the graduation routine before the actual graduation ceremony starts at 3:30 makes it easier to get through everything in a decent amount of time.
After graduation students have a million things they can do with the rest of their life. A lot of students will be heading off to college in the fall for further schooling.
āIām excited to be done with high school,ā senior Drew Williamson said.
Williamson is attending Evangel University in Missouri. He is going to play football as a Crusader next year as a freshman.
Students in college get the chance to experience life on their own and need to make decisions for their future. It also gives students who graduate a chance to hold higher paying jobs as adults.
Seniors are done with school in just a few days and then have a week until they graduate. Then planning for their future begins.
