I graduated early from my High School and they allowed me to participate in all dances and I was able to walk across the stage to get my diploma with the rest of my graduating class which meant a lot to me.

If a student graduates early it shows they put in extra hard work and dedication. They earned to walk at graduation just like the other students. They should be allowed their senior trip and Prom just like all other students. I find it ridiculous we punish them. Seems a little backwards.

They not only miss commencement, but they also miss Prom and the Senior Trip. Their last year of high school should be the best year. They shouldn't be penalized for working hard.

They work hard to finish early, don't punish students that have earned the right to walk by the actions of others.

It doesn't make sense to punish hard working students

Every graduate of UNITY should have the right of walking across the stage and receiving their diploma with their fellow classmates, regardless if they finished their studies early or went full term. It's a right of childhood that should not be taken away.

Every student who has met the academic requirements should be allowed to participate fully in the annual commencement ceremony with their peers, regardless of when they completed the requirements. To deny them that right, is wrong. And, if they want to toss their hat in celebration after the ceremony, they should not have their transcripts withheld and be forced to do community service.

Their parent's are still paying taxes for this school district and the student's worked hard to get to were they are, they should have the right to graduate with their class

There is no reason to penalize students who have been with their classmates for 11 1/2 years. What good comes out of punishing an early graduate? They are still part of their class, let them participate in commencement ceremonies.

If you earn the degree you should be able to walk.

I was allowed to graduate with my class. It makes no sense not to.
