Class of 2008 Graduation Information
Preliminary Details for Graduation 2008
Baccalaureate Mass and Commencement are solemn events steeped in rich tradition. We want to help you make them as beautiful, dignified and meaningful as we can. This requires a positive unified spirit of cooperation as well as careful attention to details. Please mark these upcoming events on your calendar. Seniors are required to attend every practice; giving you these dates and times now allows you to plan around any spring sports requirements or work schedules in order to attend. A more detailed schedule will be given to seniors at the first class meeting on March 13.
