HOME Graduation

Do you have a young adult who will be finishing their high school education in 2023? If so, HOME would like to invite you to participate in a very special graduation ceremony. Join us to mark this momentous occasion in the life of your child! 

HOME's graduation ceremony provides a great sense of accomplishment for each participating family. The event also provides encouragement for other homeschoolers to continue on through high school! 

In addition, the ceremony provides a wonderful way to include family and friends in a special celebration. Parents take part in the event, too, and will present the diploma to their child. 

GRADUATION DETAILS 

• May 20, 2023, at 2:00pm, Hope Baptist Church, 726 Western Ave., Manchester, Maine

• Graduates and parents may present short speeches (2-3 minutes) about their homeschooling experience and future plans, if desired, following their diploma presentation. 

• A video slide presentation of the graduates as they have grown up is presented as part of the ceremony. If you wish to participate in this way, please plan to send 8 - 10 pictures of your graduate by email or CD to hoverlock727@gmail.com, no later than May 1.

• A reception with light refreshments will follow the ceremony.  

• Graduation apparel and diplomas can be ordered through the HSLDA Store. Please order navy blue or white graduation gowns for a HOME graduation ceremony.

• Planning a special dinner following the event? For those who would like to continue their family celebration, consider making reservations at an area restaurant.
