 "Grad Walks" offer benefits for graduates, younger students
Many of our PWCS elementary and middle schools invited graduating seniors to walk the halls one last time where their school journeys began. Donned in their caps and gowns, members of the Class of 2023 were greeted with cheers from students and school staff who lined the decorated hallways. These "Walks of Honor" celebrate our graduates and inspire our younger students on their own journeys to graduation day.
Look for more pictures from this year's grad walks on PWCS Facebook and PWCS Twitter.
