KSD 140 held eighth-grade graduation ceremonies for Grissom and Prairie View Middle School students at Victor J. Andrew High School on Wednesday, May 29, and Thursday, May 30.
Student achievements were celebrated at ceremonies that included inspiring speeches from Jaidyn Garrison, President of Grissom’s National Junior Honor Society, Charlotte Gallivan, President of Prairie View’s National Junior Honor Society, and Superintendent Dr. Daniel Callaghan. Students with a career GPA of 3.9 and above received special recognition, and D140’s band provided music. The ceremony concluded with the presentation of diplomas by school board members.
“We are incredibly proud of our eighth graders,” said Dr. Callaghan. “Their hard work, resilience, and dedication have brought them to this important milestone. As they transition to high school, we look forward to seeing them continue to grow and achieve great things."
D140 gratefully acknowledges the parents, family members, teachers, and staff who nurtured and supported our graduates throughout their educational journeys.
Congratulations to the Kirby School District 140 Class of 2024!
