Senior Send-Off Celebration

  • This event is proposed for the seniors’ last day, Friday, May 22. It would include breakfast, a mandatory graduation rehearsal, a senior social on the field, and a final clap-out at the seniors’ elementary schools.

Family Senior Sunset Event

  • This proposed event would take place at Damascus High School on the field on Wednesday, May 27, from 6:30–8:30 p.m. and would provide students and families an opportunity to gather, celebrate, and take photos together on the field.

Both events are draft proposals developed from student feedback and discussion. We encourage any seniors with additional ideas or suggestions to reach out to Mrs. Stulz or a senior class officer.
