ALL GRADUATES must park in the middle school (SEMS) teacher parking lot.

The shuttles will resume from SEHS to Marlow after Graduation. Please utilize this service that is being provided.

After Graduation, shuttles will begin running at 8:30 and continue until everyone has been returned to their vehicles.

Congratulations class of 2018!
Traveling through the state of Georgia you can expect to see the flags and variety of monuments displayed by the huge fan base for the Georgia Bulldogs.
The University of Georgia and their much-loved mascot UGA, an English Bulldog brings in high fan attendance in the South East Conference for college football.
There have been 10 Bulldogs that trace their ancestry back to UGA 1 in 1956.
For the history of UGA the mascot: https://georgiadogs.com/sports/2017/6/16/uga.aspx
In 2008 a BBC documentary, “Pedigree exposed” concluded that bulldogs and other breeds with squat bodies and short snouts may have difficulty breathing and other health problems.
UGA has an air-conditioned doghouse on the sideline with the cheerleaders. The family who owns the dog is looking at breeding options so UGA XI will be more capable of handling the rigorous duty of mascot.

Hurricane season officially starts in the Atlantic on June 1, 2018, and May 15, 2018, in the eastern Pacific.
Hurricane Matthew barreled through the Carribean and up the Florida, Georgia and South Carolina coast. I followed the evacuation order and moved inland approximately 45 miles. Feeling comfortable with my decision I was totally taken off guard with the strength of this power of nature. Awakening to the howling, smashing, cracking, sideways rain in the dark, really frightened me. I had no idea what to expect when the daylight came but I knew it was going to be bad. It was a mess, even with the downgrade to a category one.
I can’t stress enough to be prepared and listen to your local emergency management.

Check to see if your area has a Hurricane Registry like the one offered by the Georgia Department of Health.
