Reminder: CPSD Graduation Ceremonies Scheduled Friday, Monday

It's just about that time for the Class of 2012 to say goodbye to high school. Graduation ceremonies are planned Friday and Monday for the district's three high schools:

Harrison Preparatory School will hold its graduation at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Sharon McGavick Center at Clover Park Technical College.

Lakes High School will hold its commencement exercises at 4 p.m., and Clover Park High School, at 7 p.m., Monday at the Tacoma Dome. Attendees are encouraged to arrive a half-hour early. Parking is paid in lots surrounding the Dome.

Tickets to the ceremonies must be purchased in advance; none will be available at the door. Contact your school's Student Accounts for information on how to get tickets.

Attendees are asked to be respectful of those graduating by not bringing noisemakers of any kind. Balloons will not be allowed into the Tacoma Dome.  

Remember, proud parents and others who have helped shape this year's graduates are welcome to sing their praises for FREE on Patch. Sign in to create a personal announcement with photos and videos to let your grads know how thrilled you are. Here's how: http://patch.com/A-tHbt

Check back with Lakewood Patch starting tomorrow for coverage of the Class of 2012's final walk, including senior profiles with students from all three schools.
