Graduation on June 3 is coming quick for the seniors at Mashpee Middle High School and it’s time for this year's seniors to end their four-year high school journey. For some seniors it’s hard to believe that soon they will be going separate ways from their friends who have become family and teachers who have become guardians over the years.
