As the Titans Class of 2021 prepares to turn their tassels, there is much to celebrate.
Graduation, which has origins that date back to the 12th century, is a rite of passage for the hard work students have put in throughout their years of primary, middle and secondary education. It also marks the transition from adolescence into adulthood, where students must decide what comes next.
The 850-plus graduates will attend 196 different colleges and universities to study toward various careers, join the military, attend trade schools, work to support their family or take some time to determine what comes next. Whatever their path may be, we know our students are prepared and have the tools necessary to discover and accomplish their dreams.
