Kick off your senior year with a beautiful sunrise and close it out by watching the sun set together one last time.
Senior Sunrise and Senior Sunset are special traditions that bring the senior class together to celebrate the beginning and end of this unforgettable year. These moments are all about making memories, spending time with friends, and cherishing every milestone along the way.
Join us as we rise and shine to welcome your final year — and later, come together to reflect on all you've accomplished before graduation.
