Everyone has saved the date and is now watching the days fly by—Mashpee High’s Seniors are anxiously awaiting June 4th, the day of graduation. Almost all of the senior class will be going off to college or will be joining the service after they leave Mashpee. There’s a few big questions some have yet to find the answer to— Where am I going to school? What am I going to study? Do I even want to go to school? Here are graduation plans and answers to a few of those questions from some of the class of 2016.

Here are graduation plans and answers to a few of those questions from some of the class of 2016.
There are going to be endless amounts of graduation parties filled with food, laughs, and memories. Artsy senior Caitlin Rogers will be having a nice dinner out with her family and boyfriend. After that, she will be headed to a friend’s party so she can celebrate their graduation together. Caitlin jokingly said that in the remaining weeks of summer before she leaves for the Art Institute of Pittsburgh to study photography, she’ll be spending them “packing and crying while doing so.”
Like Caitlin, her classmate Julien Terry will be having a party of his own. He’s been accepted at University of Maine, Orono, along with his girlfriend. In the fall, Julien will be going to Maine to study electrical engineering.
Maddie Clifford, a member of the cheer and softball teams, has decided she is going to work three to four jobs over the summer to save money. She will then be deciding on whether she wants to go to MCLA or Framingham State University to study early childhood education. Maddie said she might have a party, but would probably end up going to a friend’s party instead. Now most students are headed off to college like Caitlin, Maddie, and Julien, but some of the 2016 senior class have decided they are going into the service instead.
One of these students is eighteen year old Travis LeBlanc. His plans for graduation are close to the same as his friends', but he’s decided to go fishing after the ceremony is over. After spending some quality time with his friends and family, doing the things that he loves, Travis will be leaving for boot camp “hopefully on June 28th.” He’s said he’s excited about going, since he “gets to do the things they don’t teach us in school.”
Seniors have twenty seven days left until they're done with this chapter of their lives. In the meantime, they have senior week and class day to look forward to, with all the fun things in between. There’s exhibition night quickly approaching on April 5th and then they can more or less take a breather. Of course, there are other projects and things to worry about, but the days until graduation will pass in no time.
