Commencement ceremonies for members of the Class of 2016 at Northern Vance, Southern Vance and Western Vance high schools will be held in the schools’ gymnasiums this weekend.
Since each ceremony will be held in the gymnasiums, seating will be limited. Graduating seniors will be given tickets for their family members to attend. No one will be admitted to any of the commencement ceremonies without a ticket.
All three commencement ceremonies can be viewed live online through the Vance County Schools’ website at www.vcs.k12.nc.us. Those who want to view the ceremonies online should go to the school system’s website homepage and click on the appropriate school’s graduation live feed on the top left side of the page.
The decision to hold the ceremonies indoors was made due to excessive rain and the poor condition of the fields, as well as the forecast for possible thunderstorms and rainy conditions on Friday evening and Saturday morning.
Western Vance High School will hold its commencement ceremony at 7 p.m. on Friday. The commencement ceremony at Southern Vance High School will be held at 8 a.m. on Saturday and the commencement ceremony at Northern Vance High School will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
