It was both a sad and happy day for seniors as they realized they are leaving one phase of life but entering into an entirely new one.

Ilion High athletes were honored at the G.A.C. desert and Block I dinner held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings respectively.

Final exams got under way this week. The last yearbooks are being signed and activities are coming to an end. Seniors are busy preparing for Baccalaureate and Commencement. Best of luck to the Senior Class and Happy Summer vacation to everyone!
