The often scrutinized subject of the date of Clinton High School graduation was brought up at the Tuesday night June Board of Education meeting and a date has been set.
The Board Tuesday night decided on the Sunday of the weekend before Memorial Day. Superintendent Curt Nettles says the Sunday afternoon graduation is working well but had hoped to get a date set this month.
Former Board President John Blythe explained there was a change from the Memorial Day weekend to the weekend prior because of conflicts with college graduations and some families were having to choose which graduation ceremony to be at.
Board members had varying reports from community members on what they wanted. Some reported members of the community against the Memorial Day weekend ceremony, others say, that was the preference.
The Board decided for the 2018 graduation date to be May 18, the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend.
