Tonight?s the night: Graduation set for 7 p.m. at WCMS

A total of 376 seniors are scheduled to walk across the stage tonight as part of Warren County High School graduation ceremonies.

Graduation is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at Nunley Stadium.

The ceremony will include a speech entitled ?Farewell? by salutatorian Jesse Garrison. Senior class president Jakob Fann and student body president Nikki Griffith will recall noteworthy local and world events that took place during their years in school.

Lauren Patterson will sing ?The Star Spangled Banner,? and Samuel Barnes and Clint Boyd will perform the song ?Time of Your Life.?

In keeping with recent tradition, students will be bused to Nunley Stadium from the Civic Center due to parking issues. Buses will begin loading at 5:30 p.m. and leave the Civic Center at 5:45 p.m. Students will begin lining up on the Nunley Stadium track at 6 p.m.

Following the ceremony, Project Graduation will take place at McMinnville Civic Center from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

In the event of rain, graduation will be held Saturday at 5 p.m. at Nunley Stadium. If it rains Saturday, graduation will still be held at 5 p.m., but at the Civic Center instead of Nunley Stadium.

Thus far the Class of 2006 has earned $1.64 million in scholarships. This figure does not include a number of HOPE scholarships which will be confirmed after graduation.
