Congratulations to this year's SWIC Running Start students. We are so proud of your accomplishments!
With the forecast improving, we are keeping the graduation at the football stadium tonight. If the weather stays longer then anticipated, we have the capability to move inside. That will be a last resort. We are pumped to see everyone tonight and celebrate our Class of 2025.
Quick update on Graduation Friday night at the Stadium. The weather forecast is not trending very well, so a decision will be made at 9:00 AM Friday morning. Depending on the outlook we will either be outside at the stadium or inside the gymnasium at 7:30 PM. We will make the best decision based on all the information we can gather. Hoping for beautiful weather and planning for the alternative.
