Fourteen high school seniors were honored last month as the St. Jude School Program celebrated its annual high school commencement with an on-campus ceremony attended by patients, families and staff members.

Attendees cheered on the graduates who each completed high school this year while undergoing treatment. The graduates received special gifts, mortar boards and senior class rings to remember the big day.
