They will also receive six tickets in the event that the ceremony is held inside, any leftover awards from Awards Night, their physical, health records, and final transcript.
2022-2023 Yearbook – Please help us create the best yearbook possible. Any of you can upload photos at any time all year long. We are in need of lots of photos, so please upload as many as you’d like to https://plicbooks.com/go/XJ2X41.
You are all welcome to start uploading pictures into your book at any time. We encourage adding a tag to the photo uploads before starting so that the pictures get categorized correctly in your yearbook.
