Both of my daughters graduated from TCHS on very hot spring mornings. As a result, their grandmother who suffers from health problems could not attend because of the heat. Please change this for future graduates and their families.
Yes the heat was horrible, I know the our class ('15) was miserable most of the graduation... I was praying for it to end its ridiculous! We couldn't even enjoy that proud moment in our lives.
Taylor County High School students are doing our research. We have students looking at weather patterns and statistics. We are the only school in the surrounding areas that have a morning graduation, in the afternoon the temperature is much cooler and more people can attend without fear of heat injuries.
I graduated from TCHS in the evening at the football field . It was a wonderful experience for everyone. I'm not certain why the time was changed but it was obviously not a good idea.
I graduated in 2004 as well and I agree that it cant take place at TCHS gym. My brother, who jad a ticket, did not get in because it was fulled to capacity. The football field is a nice place to have it but it should be at a different time. 10am-2pm is usually the hottest part of the day. Please change the time!!!
Please change it.
It was too hot last year.

Last year was unbearably hot. Small children attend this event for support their older siblings, family and friends. Last year there were even people selling water. Who brings cash to a graduation? It was crazy.
