Senior Celebration is a time-honored tradition where parents of the Senior Class put together a fun "all-night" experience for the graduating class. The event location is a SURPRISE to students and is usually a 45-60 minute bus trip away. Students will leave directly after graduation and parents will be notified at that time of the surprise location. Senior Celebration provides not only a fun and safe experience for our students the night they graduate, it also creates great memories for years to come!
