The Anderson Co. Board of Education has approved Kentucky State University as the venue for graduation services. A graduation date has been scheduled for May 31, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. Graduates will be required to ride district provided buses to KSU's Exum Center the day of graduation. This is to ensure graduates arrive to graduation on time and to provide more parking for parents and other family members. Due to limited parking, KSU officials have also recommended for people attending to carpool. A campus map with parking lot areas is attached as well.
During our senior meeting on April 25th, we went over many topics. I have outlined some important pieces of information on attendance, grades, final exams, money owed, April 27th, Commitment to Excellence and Scholarship Night, May 25th, graduation practice and sign out procedures, graduation buses, baccalaureate, project graduation and final transcripts.
