The St. Jude School Program hosted the annual kindergarten and high school graduations in late May. Families and employees cheered and celebrated the students who were honored at the high school graduation ceremony May 15. The graduates completed high school this year while undergoing treatment.
The seventh annual kindergarten graduation took place May 21 as patients who had completed kindergarten during the school year donned caps and gowns. Patients were recognized during the ceremony, which featured a procession of the graduates, the presentation of certificates and a Class of 2014 slideshow.
