It’s getting real now for the Class of 2024 in Vance County Schools – the district honored seniors in the top 10 percent of their class earlier this week and the first two graduation ceremonies will take place in just a few weeks from today. Families and friends with graduating high school seniors at one of four upcoming commencement exercises, however, need to know that they must have tickets to attend in person, according to school officials.
The school district is planning to livestream each graduation, so everyone has an opportunity to view the ceremonies, even if they aren’t there in person.
Vance County High School and Vance County Early College graduations take place on Friday, May 24; Vance Virtual Village Academy and Advance Academy graduations take place on June 14, according to information from Aarika Sandlin, chief officer of Communication & Innovative Support.
