ROYAL CITY — For their final times as high schoolers, 119 Royal High School seniors walked onto David Nielson Memorial Field for the school’s graduation ceremony Friday evening, for a program to recognize their achievements made during four years of high school.
After cruising around town during the graduation parade, where vehicles from lifted trucks to boats — yes, boats — were decorated with paint and balloons sharing the school colors, the soon-to-be graduates filtered onto the high school’s football field two-by-two to the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance.”
Full coverage of the Royal High School graduation ceremony, as well as other grad celebrations throughout Grant and Adams counties, will be in the Wednesday edition of the Columbia Basin Herald.
