Graduation is tomorrow night- and what an exceptional class! This year was a big turnaround year for SWHS, with a new principal and assistant principal- the atmosphere really improved and in the words of a great local educator, Meredith Spence, we really saw the start of an "expectation of excellence".

From academic excellence to school spirit, it really was a good year. At last week's awards ceremony, the list of college acceptances and awards was impressive for such a small class. We also loved that South Walton's AP test scores are some of the highest in the state!:clap:

Good luck Class of 2011!

I've heard that a student in Florida has to have a 4.0 and very high SATs to get into UF. DargVader, you and your family must feel so proud. As Gator fans who know your family, we're proud that you are joining the Gator Nation.

Congratulations! :Chomp:

btw, jdarg, if you see this, please go to fb to calm me down...

I just found the baggie with four little tickets for graduation on my kitchen counter. Are those only for if it had to be moved inside, or are they limiting it to four peeps per family? Wes has 14 people coming!!

I just found it too! I am guessing it is for rain and we have to go to auditorium- had heard a limit of 4 if moved inside.

14 people- that's some dedicated fam and friends to sit outside for 2+ hours in the heat and yellow flies! 😉 I am hoping it is OK to bring bottled water!

My son graduates tonight 😀 I just wish the humidity was not so bad since we will all be sitting outside. My son will be attending NWFSC for mixed media, theater and video production. He is so excited. :clap:

The 4 tickets are for each family if it gets moved inside. If that happens, it will be in the gym and 4 family members can be in the the gym and the remainder will have to go to the auditorium and watch on the big screen.

Oh thank goodness. I was about to panic.

Congrats NightAngel! I am not sure I've put your nick with your face, but if you have a son graduating from SWHS, I know I must know you, especially if (if I remember correctly) you live in Daughettes.

I saw another mom today...not sure who's mom she was - loading a BIG bouquet of balloons in her car at Publix. Bless her heart, three of them touched the hot top of her car and popped...I won't share the story of my balloons attacking me in traffic in Destin..:roll:

And why did I order a quarter-sheet cake when there are only three people in this house?? (y'all want any cake? leftovers available tomorrow!)
