What was Huntingtown High School’s Graduation Like for 2024?
The graduation for Huntingtown High School was an amazing day for many and it was all held at “The Showplace Arena” where all the senior graduates, family and friends, orchestra, band, and chorus students gathered to help celebrate and announce that these students are ready to move on through life. The place was gorgeously set up and it was an amazing view as shown in the picture above from where the chorus students were sitting and watching the entire thing. There were many different things going on throughout the entire time. Before the ceremony started and the band, orchestra, and chorus members arrived there were many technicians there helping to get all the equipment set up, making sure that everything would run smoothly and work without problem. The chairs had been set in place long before many “helpers” had arrived and many of the “performers.” Once the few sound tests were run and everything was put in place, family, friends, and the seniors started showing up and finding their places for the ceremony which was to officially start around 7:30pm. During the time there the ceremony took a while as each individual student was given their spotlight and was called up to meet Mrs. Morton, the school’s Principal, who stood with each senior shaking their hand and taking a photo with them as they stood in with their blue gowns. The ceremony went until about nine o’clock until it had finally reached its end and many of the performing students rushed out to go and greet their fellow seniors who had now graduated and left to continue down their own paths. In the end everyone had started to leave as some seniors had plans for the night while many others went home to relax and hang out with their families, feeling freer than ever after the ceremony was complete.

A few people who were there and helped move the graduation ceremony along as class sponsors were Mr. Orlandi, Mrs. Sammons, and Mrs. Gray Gray, There were many others who had also came along including the Board of Education to help with this ceremony and hmake it special for the seniors.
