Two New Ways for Geneva High School Seniors to Celebrate Upcoming Graduation

has added a new event for seniors, beginning with the Class of 2011.

On Friday, May 13, seniors are encouraged to wear T-shirts or sweatshirts indicating their plans for next year, be it the college they plan to attend, military branch they will join, technical or vocational school they will attend, or their intended career choice.

The Guidance Department and GHS administration will host a breakfast for seniors beginning at 7:15 a.m. and running through first hour. Seniors in attendance will be excused from their first-hour class. After first hour, the seniors will parade down Viking Boulevard (the main hallway leading from the offices to the commons) and off to their second-hour class. 

Parents are asked to encourage seniors to proudly wear their shirts and to arrive at school no later than 7:40 a.m. for admission to the breakfast. The GHS event is for students only, but parents and family members are encouraged to celebrate the day at home, as well.

"Please hang the school flags, wear your colors proudly, and let your neighbors know that you've got a senior!" School Board President Mary Stith said in a 304 Connects announcement.

Yard signs are available at GHS.

Additionally, the GHS Counseling and Advising Department has announced a new program to further community relations with the students at GHS. Community members and faculty are invited to schedule a College Breakfast and provide breakfast for those high school seniors who have been accepted to and plan to attend the college or university from which you graduated.

Breakfasts will be hosted in the Community Room at GHS before school beginning the week of May 1. You can schedule a College Breakfast or find out more information by contacting the Counseling and Advising Department at 630-463-3831.
