graduation

East Ascension High School graduation was marred by parents and friends fighting in the stands during the ceremony.

My advice for the graduating Class of 2015 is this... you can make any dream come true, if you want it to. Will it be easy? No. Will it take sacrifice? Absolutely! But if you want to make your dream come true then go do it.

These graduation ceremonies did not feature the traditional cap and gowns ... instead graduates were wearing badges and guns. It was graduation day at the Calcasieu Parish Regional Law Enforcement Training Academy.

This past Saturday we had the opportunity to attend graduation ceremonies of McNeese State Unniversity at Burton Coliseum.

It's High School Graduation Time in Gator Country! And someone has a special message.

Every year, know-it-all grownups like to give their advice to high school graduates. Which is funny, because we all know the one group of people LEAST likely to take your advice is high school kids. But we do it anyway, mostly because it makes us feel like we’re wise, when we really ain’t that much more smarter-er than the kids. (I’s got a public edu-ma-cation.)

The ceremony is set for 10 am this Saturday at the Burton Coliseum. The Fall Class of 2012 is very diverse with students from as far away as Bolivia, Ireland and Nepal receiving degrees. 132 masters degrees will be awarded!

Although he was run over by a car at 14-months-old and paralyzed from the waist down, Patrick Ivison didn’t let his disability stop him. In fact, the California native learned how to kayak, ski, play rugby and even surf. And now he has one more amazing feat to add to his accomplishments after managing to walk during his high school graduation on Tuesday.
