Commencement 2026

This program will be in Alkire Auditorium on Thursday, April 9 from 6:30-8 p.m. and will provide parents an opportunity to hear instruction about the logistics of our two graduation activities: Baccalaureate and Commencement. We will also have a panel of parents of current college freshmen on hand to offer tips about the parent's experience of transitioning to the college years. 

Senior Walk will take place on Friday, April 24. Our annual Senior Walk is an exciting tradition we began in 2018. Beginning in the Early Education Building at 9:20 a.m., seniors will walk single file through the hallways of each campus building, wearing their graduation gown, giving all students and faculty/staff an opportunity to honor them. Parents of seniors are invited to participate in the event and may line up along the sidewalk between the upper school and Warner Field House as seniors leave the upper school through the front door and pass by the Guy Gym. You are encouraged to bring signs or balloons to celebrate your senior and their choice of college. Parents should plan to be in place by 9:10 a.m. The walk will conclude on the athletic stadium field where we will pray over the seniors and we will take the annual senior class picture with each student wearing a T-shirt from the college they are attending. Students are also encouraged to bring signs from their college to hold in the picture. Click here to see a video from last year. 

Senior Breakfast is a special event for graduates and their parents only. This event will be held at Forest Hill Church on Friday, May 29 at 9 a.m. Each year, we invite senior parents, grandparents or anyone significant to the student to write a personal letter to the graduating senior.
