Graduations this weekend
high school graduation

It is once again time to recognize our seniors as they graduate from high school and begin a new chapter in their lives. Please assist in making graduation a pleasant experience and reducing time during the security checks by remembering that, noise makers, alcohol, weapons, coolers, food, drinks, balloons, pets, and distracting items, such as beach balls, are not allowed in the stadiums. All bags are subject to search.

No smoking is allowed in the stadiums or on any property owned by the Liberty County Board of Education, including the parking areas. Those planning to attend either ceremony may wish to arrive early to allow time to park, lineup for a security check, and find a seat.

Both graduations will be live streamed at www.liberty.k12.ga.us/graduation2017. The live stream broadcast will be accessible 30 minutes prior to the start time of each ceremony. Video recordings of the ceremonies will be housed at www.liberty.k12.ga.us/graduation2017 for a few weeks after the graduation ceremonies.
