Commencement celebrates the culmination of years of hard work, dedication and the perseverance of our students who are filled with pride, hope and the promise of a bright future. We have all played a part in the transformation of these students and it is our hope that you want to be part of the excitement of their special day. Watching our graduates and their families is a great reminder of what we work for each day. Please see detailed information on commencement events as well as volunteer guidelines here.
