Lacey Seniors To Graduate On Friday

Lacey Township High School seniors will throw their caps in the air as they celebrate their graduation on Friday, June 17 at 6 p.m.

Approximately 360 students will be receiving diplomas at the school district’s thirtieth annual commencement, which will be held on the high school football field.

“I am most proud of how this class really supports each other,” Principal Will Zylinski said. “They always encouraged each other to do the best they can throughout their four years of high school.”

While 79 of the graduating seniors were members of the National Honor Society, about 90 percent of the graduating class will be pursuing a post-graduate education. Sixteen seniors will be entering the military.
