It’s that time of year again, as seniors will walk across the stage and receive their diplomas. Perryville and St. Vincent High Schools will host their annual graduation this weekend. Perryville will hold its graduation Friday, May 21 at 7 p.m. the Perry Park Center.
Last year’s ceremony included a few restrictions because of COVID-19, however the 2022 version will have no such limitations. The ceremony is once more open to the public.
Perryville will graduate 153 students, who will walk across the stage in the ceremony to receive their diplomas. Perryville moved away from the valedictorian and salutatorian recognitions last year and changed to the Cum Laude system of recognition. There are 30 students receiving academic honors.
Even though they will not have a specific Valedictorian and Salutatorian this year, Perryville will still have speakers Taegan Gerler and Megan Buchheit. Taegan is the daughter of Jaimy and Chris Brown, along with Scott and Amy Gerler. Megan is the daughter of Glen and Laura Buchheit.
