Congratulations, THS Graduates!

Graduation is an important milestone in a student's life. Talladega High School recognized this milestone with grace, style, and respect throughout the month of May.

The recognition activities began with Awards Day on the campus of Talladega High School. Parents were encouraged to attend and many scholarships were awarded to deserving students.

Another means of honor and recognition was with several banquets, such as the Career Tech banquet held at Timber Ridge Golf Resort.

Faculty and administration of the Career Technical Program gathered to recognize the accomplishments of students in the various courses. Teachers not only handed out framed certificates, but spoke highly of the deserving students. Students participated in the ceremonies and even entertained the audience. The event was a proud time for the teens and their families.

Before graduation, the High School hosted a hospitality Room in the Career Discovery Classroom on the campus of Ellis Junior High. This activity provided an opportunity for Kim Oliver, the keynote speaker, an opportunity to share adventures as 2006 National Teacher of the Year.

Board members were available to greet Miss Oliver as well as several students, such as Sara Thompson.

Doesn't John Locklin look handsome in this graduation attire?

The eight grade band members and other band students joined together to provide music for the occasion. As fellow band members received their diplomas, these musicians rose in honor of the graduates' acchievements.

The Graduation Ceremony was a flawless affair due to the dedication of Janice Shepherd, THS Guidance Counselor, Katie Reynolds, THS Attendance Supervisor, Sharon Anderson, special education teacher, and many others who assisted in the preparation. The Maintenance Department was extremely helpful with supplying electricity to the podium, lights, and other areas. The teamwork across the district made it a night to remember.

The ceremony was the ending of these students' years in the Talladega City School System, but the beginning of their futures. The TC District wishes all the very best!
