Jenkins County High School (JCHS) has begun preparations for the 2009 Commencement Exercise to be held 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, in the Jenkins County Schools Gymnatorium.

Dr. Joseph Kirkland, Principal of JCHS, is committed to making this year's graduation the best ever.

In an effort to provide each graduate's family equal access to observe this milestone ceremony and to ensure the sanctity of the event, admission tickets will be required to enter the gymnatorium. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and will close promptly at 7 p.m.

Balloons will not be allowed in the gym area before or during the ceremony. Food and drink will not be allowed in the gym. Anyone arriving after the doors close at 7 p.m. will not be seated.

Public cooperation is being enlisted.
