With the final six weeks of the 2023-24 school year starting Monday, thoughts are naturally already turning to end-of-year celebrations, graduation parties, graduation, and retirement. Below is a handy calendar to keep the dates for end-of-year events at Abilene ISD’s three high schools handy.
A comprehensive graduation page with answers to questions about parking, handicapped seating, graduate attire, and more will be available on the AISD website later in May.
