A small high school in rural Texas has postponed its graduation ceremony after an end-of-year review revealed only five of the school’s 33 seniors had met the requirements to graduate, according to the school district’s superintendent
. “Marlin High School has announced that high school graduation will be rescheduled for June,” the Marlin Independent School District said in a letter posted on Facebook. “The decision by the high school to postpone graduation will provide more time for students to meet necessary requirements for graduation.” Many students at the school, which is about 25 miles southeast of Waco, “did not meet requirements due to attendance or grades,” the letter stated.
This is graduation.” After students worked this week to make up classroom hours and assignments, 17 additional students were made eligible for graduation in June, according to Henson. The community planned an informal graduation ceremony to celebrate the seniors at a church Thursday, the day the students were originally meant to graduate, according to CNN affiliate KWTX.
