This is the only high school graduation you will have; let’s make it classy and let everyone’s hard work be recognized! There are the types of things that will not be allowed in the stands or on the field: balloons, umbrellas, air horns, beach balls, etc. These things are great fun, but save them for after the ceremony please.

According to Pasco School District Policy, only fully qualified seniors are allowed to participate in the
