Commencement set for PHS class of '09

Commencement exercises for the Piggott High School class of 2009 will be conducted at 7 p.m. Friday, May 15 in the new gym. A total of 65 are scheduled to receive diplomas, and this year's honor students will be recognized. School officials also will be handing out thousands of dollars in scholarships and special awards.

As of press time the valedictorian and salutatorian had yet to be determined by school officials, and that announcement will be made prior to graduation ceremonies.

The traditional graduation section may be found elsewhere in this edition of The Piggott Times, which includes photos and profiles of this year's graduating class at Piggott High School.
