The graduation ceremony is a formal ceremony that marks an important event in each student’s life.  In order for this to occur, we need the cooperation of every member of the Class of 2013 and each person in attendance.  For most, the highlight of the ceremony is the presentation of the diplomas.  During this time, it is important that everyone present refrain from making any cheers or noises that will distract from a student’s names being heard.  Once all students have received their diploma, a time of celebration will be included in the program.

Commencement expectations:

• All students are to report to the high school by 5:30 p.m. on June 4.  All students are required to ride the bus to the ceremony.  Please plan accordingly to ensure that each student arrives at the high school by 5:30 p.m.  Students should make sure they have their gown, cap, tassel and victory hood.  There are no extra items, so students should take great care in making sure all items are in their possession.

• Students are not permitted to have cell phones, cameras, other electronic devices, or sunglasses during the ceremony.  Because access to the high school will not be available after the ceremony students will not be permitted to leave anything in the high school.  It is strongly recommended that all valuables be left at home, locked in their car or given to parents.

• At 6:00 p.m., students will board buses to travel to Franklin and Marshall College for the commencement ceremony.  After the ceremony is completed, students are not expected to return to the high school.  Diplomas will be distributed immediately after the ceremony on the second floor of the Alumni Center.  There will be one bus that will return to the high school for those students who need transportation.

Again this year, Penn Manor High School will be televising the commencement ceremony on the Internet.  Directions for this will be posted on the district website.  It is with great excitement that we make preparations for this year’s commencement.  Your cooperation and support is greatly appreciated in making the commencement memorable and successful.  Please do not hesitate to contact the high school if you have any questions.

Penn Manor students are required to complete 30 hours of community service as an element of their PMHS Graduation Project. On Monday May 13th, students who were not taking Keystone tests heard about the importance of volunteering in the community and learned how to find volunteer placements from speakers from the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and the United Way of Lancaster County.

Two excellent sources for finding volunteer placements are:
