Class of 2024 Senior Walk
This is a special tradition for our seniors to enter the same halls of our elementary buildings and middle school they once walked. They truly get a sense of how far they have come in their educational journeys. Donning their caps and gowns, this experience not only gives pride to our seniors, but it inspires our young Warriors to see what lies ahead.
