High school graduation Friday evening

Wrangell High School will hold its graduation ceremony at 7 p.m. Friday, May 17, in the high school gym.

Principal Jackie Hanson will welcome the 10 seniors and teacher Jack Carney will serve as the commencement speaker.

This year's valedictorian and salutatorian had not been announced as of the Sentinel's printing deadline on Monday.

Each senior has tickets for 10 friends or family for seats on the gym floor, with overflow space in the bleachers. The ceremony can also be viewed online at https://www.youtube.com/@WPSDusStreaming.

The school district's annual academic and scholarship award ceremony will be held at 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, in the high school gym.

The final two weeks of school for the graduating students have been filled with finishing senior projects, making sure other work is complete and taking time out for a sanctioned skip day on May 6 that included various activities, including a ride on a fire truck and a boat trip up the Stikine River.

Hanson reported that this year's senior prank was played on April 26. Students brought trucks, some with boats in tow, that took up much of the school parking lot with several signs that said, "Uh-oh," and "Have Fun Parking." The final sign included the signatures of the graduating seniors titled, "The Class of 2024."
