Senior Graduation Announcements
Update on Graduation Announcements from our Balfour representative - the graduation announcement factory is located in the state of Kentucky. The Governor of Kentucky shut down all non-essential operations two and a half weeks ago. We are waiting on clearance so our factory workers can go back to work and get the graduation announcement orders out! The announcements will be delivered to our Balfour representative. He will be in touch with Ms. Harrelson in the high school office. As soon as those announcements are delivered we will schedule a pick-up time at the high school building.
