Danville Public Schools expects about 365 graduates in 2025; ceremonies set for May and July
Summary
District staff told the school board the current estimate is 350 expected graduates plus 15 summer graduates (365 total), listed SOL/test contingencies and scheduled graduation ceremonies at Glenwood, Averett North Campus and Bonner Middle School.
Miss Harris, presenting the graduation status report, told the school board that "as today, we have 350 that are expected graduates for this year," and that an additional roughly 15 students are expected to graduate in the summer, bringing the current expected total to 365.
The report tied graduation objectives to the district strategic plan, highlighting goals to increase graduation rates and college- and career-readiness. Miss Harris said some seniors remain contingent on SOL testing or additional coursework: two seniors are enrolled in virtual night classes and 19 students are using Edgenuity for credit recovery.
Ceremony scheduling and locations listed in the report include a Glenwood Campus ceremony for adult education and GED completers at 6:00 p.m.; Galileo High School and George Washington High School graduation ceremonies at Averett North Campus (9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., respectively); and a summer ceremony for the approximately 15 summer graduates to be held at Bonner Middle School in July at 5:30 p.m. The district also noted a plan to hold future graduations on a DPS campus once facilities work is completed.
The board did not take additional action at the meeting; the report was presented for information and scheduling. The district did not provide a breakdown by school in the segments of the transcript provided.
