N-RMS Graduation Schedule is set ... and staggered!

Back in 2000, I remember being slightly upset that my boss' parents had a grandchild graduating at Wilson Hunt and one at Wilson Fike - and their ceremonies were being held at the same time.

Why put a set of grandparents or any relatives in such a predicament in the same county or school system! Stagger the start times for all the schools if they must be the same day.

Alas, Nash-Rocky Mount Schools has done that for the first time since the 1992-93 merger - that I can remember.

Here is the schedule for the system's four high schools:

SATURDAY, JUNE 9

Northern Nash High School - 9 a.m. - main gym

Nash Central High School - 11 a.m. - main gym

Southern Nash High School - 2 p.m. - main gym

Rocky Mount High School - 4 p.m. - main gym

The said thing is that these graduations are being held inside - with limited seating. Tickets will still be needed to get into these festivities.

Best of luck to these Classes of 2012!
