Beginning Monday, seniors or their guardians can stop by the ACHS front office to pick up the needed information to get tickets for the graduation ceremony.

Once the ticket information sheet is picked up, tickets must be claimed online by 6pmCT on Wednesday. Tickets that are not claimed will be made available to the public at 8amCT on Thursday morning.


Students who have guests that are handicapped may request special seating for those who are in a wheelchair or those who are unable to climb one or two steps. The bottom two rows of both sides of the gym will be reserved for handicapped seating on a first come, first serve basis. Handicapped seating requests can be made at the front office or through the online form that can be found on our Facebook page beginning Monday. Handicapped seating requests do not count toward the senior's ticket allotment.

On Tuesday we will have the senior parade. Seniors should be at the ACHS student parking lot at 5:30pmCT and the parade will begin at 6pmCT The route will be from ACHS to Greensburg Street to the Square, then around the Square and ending at the stop light at City Hall. Students can park in the public lots if needed to remove vehicle decorations. The parade will be led by local first responders.

On Wednesday, the day begins with Senior Breakfast at 8amCT This is for Seniors only. Following breakfast, we will have the senior class picture so Seniors should be sure to bring their cap and gown. After the class picture, we will have the Senior Walkthrough of ACHS and all other schools.

Adair County High School seniors are honored all week long leading up to commencement ceremonies. This morning they made their traditional senior walk through each of the other schools. In this picture at ACMS, this message on the cap caught my eye, "I did it, PaPa," which speaks to the whole family that supports young people to get them to this milestone. Congratulations to every graduate and every family and every educator. Mr. Parnell's news release of the activities can be accessed by clicking 'read more'.
