Graduation is a very important milestone for a student. This milestone should be shared and celebrated with friends and family. Therefore, students and their loved ones should have the best accommodations for graduation. For years, McNair's graduations were held indoors with enough room for guest and adequate equipment. Recently, the graduations are now being held at Halford stadium where the accommodations for both the students and guest are inferior. Students and guest have to sit under the blazing sun, their guest has to sit on concrete, and the stadium's microphones do not work properly during past encounters. Imagine attending your child's graduation and not being able to hear their speech, the musical selections, or their name being called. For these reasons, McNair's class of 2016 are petitioning for a change of venue that will be indoors and comfortable for all.
In addition to a change of venue, students also want an admirable senior year. From the time a student enters pre-k to the time they enter their senior school year, students have put forth hard work. Students deserve to be given the right to take part in a multitude of senior activities to their liking. In the past, graduates have not been asked what senior activities they want to partake. The Class of 2016 has composed a list of activities they want to partake. These things include a fashion show, a senior dance, a senior field day, a senior picnic at a location voted on by the students, etc. Students are requesting that our voices will be heard in senior activities and senior paraphernalia.
Lastly, McNair High School students are requesting a yearbook. McNair High School has not had a year book in over 4 years. The yearbook is an essential feature to not only the seniors, but every student's school year because yearbooks captures the best moments in high school that turn into great memories. Therefore, students of McNair are requesting a yearbook so that we will be able to look back on these great school memories. Please join us in our fight to make our senior year one worth remembering.
McNair High School Class of 2016
Updates
August 9, 2015
I have requested a formal meeting with the school administration to present our list of proposed senior activities and discuss the stadium venue concerns. We are currently compiling technical documentation regarding the sound equipment failures at the stadium to strengthen our case for an indoor location. A written response from the principal is expected by the end of the week.

Its ridiculous that we have to fight for basic stuff like a yearbook and a decent place for graduation. Do better.
CLASS OF 2016 will not endure what previous classes went through. We will have the essentials and I believe a change will come.
Class of 2016 deserves way better than this. Tired of being ignored by the administration.
My parents want to actually hear my name when I walk across the stage. Halford is way too hot for everyone sitting on that concrete.
I'm so up set about how my child is class is being treated. We do not want to go through a year without having a year book. As a parent I am upset about the class due . I have not been told wear the money is going. The graduation ceremony was terrible. It was out side in the hot.sun.and the sound system was terrible. I couldn't hear clear. The homecoming was terrible. The worst I have ever attended. The senior class has not taken senior pictures. It's is just sad that Ms Walker told me that she is going to use the same person as before. The kids were not allowed to purchase their class pictures. Also the kids have taken pictures for the last three years and has yet been allowed to buy the picture
