The annual Senior and Parent Night was held in the Big Gym on Tuesday, February 2.
The seniors were advised to bring their parents and pick up their senior packets.
“I’m sad that it’s my last year and I have to leave my friends,” said senior Ana Suarez.
At the meeting, each staff member explained responsibilities for the seniors. The seniors had to read their packets, which focused on graduation, prom, Grad Night, and other senior activities.
“It’s funny that we have rules and codes for the senior activities but I understand that we need them for certain individuals,” explained senior Efrain Cortez.
There were different caps and gowns to show what each student is going to receive. The gold one is for 4.0 students, while all other graduates don the traditional green gown. Additionally, students were informed of the several medallions and sashes for taking honors and AP courses.
Outside of the Big Gym and the student store, booths were open for students and parents to purchase graduation items. One booth sold graduation flowers and beaded necklaces, while the student store was used for the caps, gowns, tassels, and Grad Night tickets.
For seniors, it is a big step and a lot to take in because of the fact there are only a few months left in the school year. Reality sets in because this is the last year before college and adulthood.
“I just wanted to enjoy the days and weeks that I have with my classmates because we’re becoming adults soon,” said senior Yulissa Cabrera.
