Though the festivities were moved from Dantzler Stadium, where Commencement is always held, to the Arthur B. Hayes Gymnasium, the spirit and excitement of graduation was ever-present as families sat side-by-side to cheer the graduates on as they collected their diplomas and walked into a diverse, always-changing world. |
