BHS Grads Greeted with Cheers and High-Fives
|
Baraboo High School's graduating seniors had an opportunity to practice their Grand March on Tuesday morning.
The seniors donned their caps and graduation gowns and boarded a bus to tour the elementary schools and middle school during the second annual Senior Grad Walk.
Grads were greeted with cheering and high-fives as they paraded through GLW, North Freedom, West, ABE, East and finished up at Jack Young Middle School.
This tradition has a duel purpose. The seniors have the opportunity to take a grand march down memory lane, reminiscing with former teachers and seeing their old classrooms and the schools that brought them to where they are today, while also being celebrated by the younger students. Seeing the graduates, the younger students have a real-life example of what they are working toward as they go through their own educational journey toward graduation. Bonus: everyone had fun!
Congratulations, Baraboo High School Seniors, and good luck at tomorrow's graduation and your future beyond Baraboo High School! We are #Barabooproud of all you have accomplished during your Baraboo School District careers and look forward to seeing all you will accomplish in the years to come.
