UISD readies for graduation ceremonies

The academic journey for nearly 2,300 United Independent School District high school students has led them to this great moment of distinction-graduation. As such, the district is busy finalizing details for the four upcoming graduation ceremonies that will formally celebrate their scholastic achievements as each of them enter a new phase in their lives. Equally exciting is the fact that graduates from each of the high schools have accepted exceptional amounts in scholarships and the amount continues to grow.

The district's high school graduation ceremonies will take place starting Friday, May 28, and Saturday, May 29, at the Laredo Energy Area, 6700 Arena Boulevard.

The high school ceremony graduation schedule will be as follows:

• United High School 7 p.m., Friday, May 28, 2010
• Alexander High School 10 a.m., Saturday, May 29, 2010
  
• United South High School 2 p.m., Saturday, May 29, 2010
  
• Lyndon B. Johnson High School 6:00 p.m., Saturday, May 29, 2010
