One of the oldest traditions in America is the high school graduation ceremony. As seniors suit up in their caps and gowns, they will share one of the biggest moments in their lives with classmates before embarking on the next phase of adulthood. It's a bitter-sweet moment because high school days are over and classmates move away to attend college.

However, it's an exciting time for students to celebrate their achievements. Family and friends look on with pride as students march to “Pomp and Circumstance” wearing the traditional graduation cap and gown. There's no greater recognition than this final step in the high school experience. Congratulations to all the 2024 graduates! Well done! Below are the 2024 Calcasieu Parish School Board high school graduation commencements.
