Clarksburg High School

Clarksburg High School Students, Staff, and Families,

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. Originally established during the Civil War, Memorial Day honors those who have died in military service for the U.S. Giving their ultimate sacrifice in honor of their country. Thank you to all who serve. (Schools are closed Monday, May 30) Memorial Day has also meant the unofficial start to Summer, however there are still a few weeks left so let's all hang in there.

This week Wednesday, there will be an APPS Induction Ceremony for incoming Grade 9 students. Counselors will meet with ALL Juniors in the Class of 2023 on Thursday to provide students with the Senior Packet to prepare for their final year in high school and beyond. The packet includes how to request recommendations from teachers, the college and career timeline, and more.

Seniors and senior families should remember that this Friday, June 3, all seniors planning to participate in Commencement should plan on attending rehearsal on Friday beginning at 8:45 am. Seniors should gather in the cafeteria. This practice is MANDATORY for all seniors planning to attend the Commencement ceremony at Mount St. Mary’s University. You must remain at this practice for the entire time! Complimentary Senior Picnic will be provided for the seniors by the PTSA following rehearsal at approximately 10:45 am in the Coyote Canyon.

Following the practice, all seniors will receive their caps, tassel, gowns, and tickets for graduation. Students have the option to attend elementary school clap out's for them. They should wear their cap and gowns. Please check the fit of your gown immediately upon receipt. (See tips on how to get wrinkles out of a graduation gown.)

Graduation is Monday, June 6. There will NOT be school at Clarksburg High School on Monday, June 6 as staff will be attending the Commencement Ceremony. The Class of 2022 Commencement will be livestreamed via this link: https://youtu.be/AcO_rr_GXnA
