Senior Yearbook Quotes: HERE
Updated Senior Privilege: Senior privileges are now established and published in the handbook at the beginning of the year. One of the senior privileges that was previously determined is the privilege of sitting outside at lunch. Since COVID that has been opened up to everyone. Because this is the case we will be adding on senior privilege. For the remainder of 4th quarter - Seniors will not need to shave. The one stipulation is that you are CLEAN SHAVEN by Baccalaureate & Graduation.
