Allatoona High School
Senior Buc Families,
Please mark your calendars for PTSA's Baccalaureate Service on May 21st at 3p. We're excited for an opportunity to honor this special class and hope all our 2023 soon-to-be-graduates and their families will join us.
If you're unfamiliar with a baccalaureate service, see answers to some frequently asked questions below. If you’d like to attend, RSVP at the link found at the end so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!
What is baccalaureate? Dating back to medieval times, the baccalaureate ceremony celebrates and honors the achievements of a graduating class. The gathering acknowledges the blending of intellectual pursuit and the spiritual journey... and bestows continued blessings for success in both.
When and where will the service take place? Baccalaureate is traditionally held the Sunday before a graduation ceremony. Ours will be Sunday, May 21st at 3pm at Cedarcrest Church, 4600 Cobb Parkway in Acworth. The service will last less than an hour.
What does the service include? After a processional, members of our AHS Orchestra and Chorus will perform. We'll also hear a special performance dedicated to our graduates. Students and school community leaders, as well as the pastor from Cedarcrest will offer messages, dedications and prayers for our Class of 2023.
What to wear? Seniors will wear their caps and gowns. Families are invited to dress for group photos if they choose, we'll have a designated area for you to capture memories of this special day.
How do I RSVP? To aid in planning, we'd like to know how many of your family will attend. RSVP at this link by May 13th https://forms.office.com/r/7Zzh73ivPp
