A popular Eagle tradition

The annual Boulder City High School Grad Walk was held this past Friday.

The seniors, donned in cap and gown, made their way down to cheering students and staff at Garrett Junior High, then walked along Adams Boulevard, where they were greeted by honks from passing cars. As they approached Martha King and Andrew Mitchell elementary schools, cheers from students could be heard as they raised their signs of encouragement and congratulations.

As they went past the pool, dozens of families and friends were there for hugs and photos. As the seniors made it back to the school, the hallways were filled with their schoolmates and teachers. They then went to the flag and posed for one last group photo as the class of 2024.
