5 Things: Countdown on for Solon High Seniors

It's that time of year again: Time for Solon High School seniors to take that next big step into adulthood. But first, it's time to let loose, be recognized and celebrate their accomplishments in high school.

So here's some events on tap this week so seniors can do just that:

1.  Seniors Honors Banquet and Awards Program: The school honors its exemplary seniors Tuesday night during a banquet and awards ceremony. The awards program will be held in the auditorium at 6:30 p.m.

2. Last Day of Classes! For seniors working on a Senior Project (more on that later), their last day of classes was May 6. But for all the other seniors, the day they've been waiting for is May 25, this Wednesday. 

3. Senior Project Symposium: Many seniors have been hard at work on Senior Projects, in which they head off with sponsors to learn about the real world and create a report on their experience. The symposium for the projects will be held May 25 through May 27.

4. Prom and Senior Send Off: Senior Prom is scheduled for May 28, with Senior Send Off, the name for Solon's After Prom, right after it. Stay tuned for more prom information and coverage this week. The Community Open House is set for Saturday from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

5. Graduation: The commencement ceremony is set for June 2 at 7 p.m. Remember seniors: There is graduation practice that morning at 9:30 a.m.
