When rumors went around that this year’s graduation ceremony was going to be in the gym instead of on the field because of the turf construction, seniors were not happy.
“I think the school pays too much attention to sports and not enough on an event that happens only once for us,” senior Jenna Olsen said.
Olsen, hearing that she would only be allowed four tickets, would have ruined her plans on inviting her whole family, including her aunt and all her cousins.
Construction on the turf was suppose to start May 28, but will be pushed back to June 4, so the ceremony can be outside.
“We are a part of a project with two other schools and trying to get everything done in a time frame, so we can meet all the obligations for the MSL,” Minter said.
