Gaston County Schools Will Graduate Over 2,000

Graduation for Gaston County Schools is Saturday, June 9th, and ten public high schools will conduct ceremonies that day to present diplomas to the Class of 2018. This year, 2,283 seniors will graduate from Gaston County Schools.

Ashbrook, Bessemer City, Cherryville, Stuart W. Cramer, East Gaston, Forestview, Hunter Huss, North Gaston, and South Point will hold high school graduation on June 9th at 9:00 a.m. The ceremony for the Highland School of Technology is at 11:00 a.m. on June 9th.

Graduation exercises for Webb Street School and Warlick Academy take place on Wednesday, June 6th. The Webb Street ceremony is at 12:00 p.m. and Warlick’s ceremony is at 1:30 p.m.

The Gaston Early College High School held its graduation on May 17th. Forty-four students received diplomas.

Superintendent of Schools W. Jeffrey Booker stated, “Graduation is a milestone for our seniors, and we are very proud of all students in the Class of 2018 – they are an impressive group of graduates. Graduation day is their time to shine and celebrate their many accomplishments in academics, athletics, the fine arts, extracurricular activities, and other areas.”

Booker added, “The Board of Education joins me in congratulating our graduates in the Class of 2018 and wishing them much success as they begin a new and exciting phase in life.”

Each high school graduation is a well-planned, formal ceremony intended to highlight each senior. To ensure that each graduate’s name is heard by everyone, attendees should refrain from boisterous applause and celebration until all graduates have received their diploma.

Tickets for Graduation

Admission tickets are required for ceremonies that are held indoors (East Gaston, Highland, North Gaston, Warlick). If outdoor ceremonies are moved indoors because of inclement weather, a ticket is required. Because of space constraints, most schools require tickets for ceremonies that are held in the football stadium. Anyone with questions about admission tickets for graduation should contact the school for specific information.
