High school graduation is a milestone that should be profoundly honored. Seniors at Thurston High School have worked hard to obtain this goal and they would like for their families to experience this achievement with them. We students , along with faculty and parents, are pressing to make a change so that graduation can be held at a bigger location. Thurston is one of the few schools left to have their graduation in a courtyard where students are subjected to only invite 5 guests. Although this is tradition, times are changing and we do not want students limited to the number of family members they would like to celebrate this event with.
