GLEN ROSE Friday’s Senior Trip to Six Flags for the Class of 2021 begins a plethora of events over the next two weeks that will culminate with graduation ceremonies on Friday, May 28, at the Glen Rose High School Auditorium.
“Graduation is just around the corner, and we want to make all of our end-of-the-year events memorable ones for all of our seniors and their parents,” Glen Rose Principal Kelly Shackelford said in a letter recently sent out to the graduating seniors and their parents.
Due to COVID-19, the 2020 graduation ceremonies were held at Tiger Stadium with heavy procedures and protocols in place. This year, the graduation will return to the auditorium graduation’s traditional home.
