I would like to say I went to school for seven years and I thought our graduation ceremony was horrible. I could not hear any of the speakers and I was not the only one that said that they couldn't hear. Not only was the speaker system messed up, I also felt like I was rushed like a herd of cattle going through to the gate to get slotterd. If the speaker system was bad when the nursing ceremony was going on they should of had it fixed for us. There was nothing wrong with having the ceremony outside under a tent at the college that I PAID MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO FOR SEVEN YEARS!!! I DIDN'T GO TO THE EXPO CENTER FOR MY EDUCATION !!!! DID YOU!!!
Thank you for your constructive criticisms. We regret that the experience of graduation was not as satisfactory as it could have been. We are working with the Expo Center to improve the sound system for next year. Unhappily, the size of our graduating classes and audience preclude our being able to fit it all under the tent at Locust Grove any more. In 2007 we had a total attendance of 1500. This year nearly 2500 attended.
Moreover, there were fewer worries about weather disrupting the ceremony indoors. Therefore, until we can afford to build our own large auditorium, we will have to make use of another facility. Only the Expo Center in our service area is large enough for our growing graduating classes.
