Your page for information for your senior year
We look forward to watching our Class of 2024 walk across the stage at the historic and beautiful Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. Periodically throughout your senior year, we will send a quick reminder about events specific to your journey. Some are time-sensitive while others are just “save the dates” for now, and more information will continue to be shared as we get closer to the event.
