All graduating students must have completed their forty hours of community service by the date of the school prom if they intend to attend their graduation dance. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP PROM TICKETS UNTIL YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS ARE COMPLETE. This comes about as a result of the practice of some students who left their Community Service Hours to the last month of school and were not able to graduate in June. We are encouraging all our graduating students to submit their hours by May 14th, 2010. (NM –Apr 16)
