Graduation Investigation

Where will Franklin High School’s 2015 Senior Graduation be held? Although this is still a mystery, Lucas Giguere, the school’s Assistant Principal for Student Services, released possible locations that are in the mix for the event.

Giguere announced that the school’s administration plans to host graduation in the gymnasium, where the gym floor, bleachers, and overhead track would be put to use. When asked if the gymnasium would be able to hold all students and their families, Giguere replied, “Space is definitely a concern.”

If the gymnasium cannot fit the amount of people attending graduation, the alternative is to have non-direct family watch graduation filmed on a jumbo screen in the school’s auditorium. Giguere was asked if people will oppose this idea, and said, “It’s not live, but we have to stick to the state guidelines for fire and emergency codes.”

FHS administration plans to see what other schools that are similarly built in structure and size do when they host graduation events. Giguere claimed, “We are not opposed to holding graduation on the Pisini Field, if weather is permitting.”

Cheryl Moretti is a family friend of a graduating senior from Franklin. When asked about her opinion of where graduation may be held this year, Moretti stated, “If it’s held in the gym with only direct family allowed, it would be a more intimate setting. If it’s held on the football field, it’s less intimate, but space is not limited. I don’t think non-direct family would get much out of watching the kids graduate on a screen.”

For now, Franklin High School’s senior class must patiently wait alongside family and friends for further information about the exciting milestone of their high school graduation.
