I t’s the moment they’ve been looking forward to for months: the end of the school year.

Summer vacation is quickly approaching, but before it’s here there’s plenty to be done, such as final exams and a little thing called graduation.

At Whitehall Central High School, the final day of school was Tuesday and most students are hard at work taking their final exams. At the Elementary School, students will have to wait until Friday, June 24 for the last day of school. Students will dismissed at 10 a.m.

Seniors aren’t the only group graduating. Pre-K students will wrap up school on June 21 and will graduate to kindergarten status during one of two graduation ceremonies, one from 10 to 10:30 a.m. and the other from 12:30 to 1 p.m. in the Elementary School Cafeteria.
