High School Graduation Time!
I tell you, having Memorial Day arrive semi-early has thrown everything
off. It sure doesn't feel like it should be high school graduation time,
but all this week, students in Fairfax County's high schools will be
donning caps and gowns. (Arlington's graduations are next week.)
We've got them all covered (we listen to "Pomp & Circumstance" a lot
this time of year). Everyone on the news staff takes at least one, with
Brian Trompeter and Kristen Armstrong covering the bulk of them. I'll be
out, feeling hopelessly intellectually out of place, at the commencement
of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology next Saturday
night.
That's my one high school graduation ceremony to cover each year, and I
do enjoy it. I duck out just after the speeches and before the diplomas
are given out, thus beating the traffic and salvaging a bit of the
evening.
