Commencement is a formal ceremony that marks an important event in each student’s life.  For this to occur, we need the cooperation of the Class of 2015 and each person in the audience. During presentation of diplomas, please refrain from cheering or making other noises that will make it difficult to hear student names.  Once all students have received a diploma, attendees may celebrate.

The ceremony will be webcast live, beginning at 6 p.m., on the district website, staging-pennmanor.kinsta.cloud. DVDs of commencement will be available for purchase here.
