Thousands of high school seniors turned their tassels and turned the page on their academic journey as Memphis-Shelby County Schools celebrated graduation for more than 30 high schools.
MSCS’ class of 2023 has had a historic high school journey; their freshman year ended with a global shutdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, they truly display what it means to #FinishStrong.
From Senior Salutes and the annual Scholars Celebration to Senior Spotlights, MSCS pulled out all the stops to ensure its 2023 graduates were honored with pride.
