Members of the DeKalb County High School Class of 2024 took a trip down memory lane with visits to Smithville Elementary School and DeKalb West School Friday morning in what has become a tradition each year for graduating seniors.
The Senior Walk is an opportunity for high school students to return to the elementary campuses where they once attended school to stroll through the hallways in their caps and gowns. “While we hope this will inspire our future graduates, we are excited about our seniors being able to see their elementary school teachers one last time before they graduate,” said DCHS Principal Bruce Curtis.
As they arrived by school bus and then walked single file down the aisles, the seniors were greeted with smiles, hugs, confetti, special welcoming signs, and high fives from youngsters at both Smithville Elementary and DeKalb West School where their own educational journey began thirteen years ago.
