June brings graduation ceremonies around county

Across Clark County this month, graduates are marking the end of one chapter and looking ahead to the places they’ll go.

And that means there’s no shortage of graduation celebrations to attend.

During the next two weeks, seniors in 36 local high school programs will say their goodbyes, with the final graduation ceremony taking place June 16. Firm Foundation Christian School already gave a sendoff to their 16 grads on May 21.

On Sunday, The Columbian shared the stories of three sets of triplets, many of whom will go their separate ways after triumphantly tossing their caps into the air. Some will pursue studies on the other side of the country or in different parts of the state. One will attend Clark College in Vancouver, much closer to home.

Today, on Page A5, we list all of the graduation ceremonies and honors graduates at three dozen local high schools and programs. They’ll take diverse paths, with some going to college and others entering the military or the workforce.
