Project Graduation

Project graduation is a celebration offered by the Parents Who Care organization, a non-profit organization, to allow students a way to celebrate their high school graduation in an alcohol, tobacco, and drug free environment.  Project graduation will be on Saturday, May 26th.  Registration is from 9:00 pm – 11:00 pm.  Students are allowed to bring one high school aged guest, and if students leave, they will not be allowed back in.  Various fun activities and prizes along with food are offered throughout the evening.  If you would be interested in donating or helping out with this cause, please contact D’Ann Giddings at 325-665-3266 or pwcprojectgraduation@gmail.com.

Graduation Information                        graduation cap

If students did not turn in the Jostens graduation packets when Jostens was at Cooper in November or did not receive the Jostens graduation packets, they will need to visit the Jostens location at 4090 S.

Absences and Saturday Schools

Seniors, please take care of any excessive absences by attending Saturday school.  You do not want to be denied credit due to excessive absences because it will delay your ability to graduate.  For each Saturday school you attend, an absence will be taken away.  Remember that absences are looked at per class period, and if you have 9 or more absences in any one class period, you could be denied credit for that class.  Please take advantage of Saturday school if you have 9 or more absences in any one class period.
