Welcome to Mill River Union High School and the Commencement Exercises for the Class of 2017. While our graduates' hearts and minds hold rich memories of their days within our halls, classrooms, stages, playing fields, and community experiences, these young women and men turn now to reflecting on what new journeys begin as they blaze their individual and collective paths towards building their lives and contributing to our world. As one chapter in their lives closes with the receiving of their diploma and the turning of their tassel, new adventures and opportunities await the graduates of the Class of 2017.
The Dress of the Graduates
Mill River Union High School continues the custom of wearing a gown and mortar board for graduation to honor the
scholarly tradition of distinguished dress dating back to the
formation of the earliest universities in the 12th century.
The gentlemen are wearing blue robes and white stoles,
while the ladies are wearing white robes with blue stoles.
Our Junior Marshals are robed in red for the ceremony.
The Marching Order of the Graduates
The graduating seniors are led in procession by the Administration, Honored Guests, and the Faculty and Staff. The class marches in alphabetical order to the familiar strains of Pomp and Circumstance to assume their places of honor.
