A GRAND GRADUATION ENTRANCE – FACT 36 of 50

Pomp and Circumstance and caps and gowns are synonymous with graduation at a traditional high school, but anyone who has attended graduation at GMVS knows that the annual ceremony is uniquely different. Graduating seniors are given ownership to determine the way in which they enter graduation and their attire. While girls have traditionally worn white dresses and boys wear button down shirts and pants, classes continue to find new ways to enter. Below are some of the ways in which graduates have made their grand entrance:

  • Vans on tow trucks
  • Four Wheeled Vehicles
  • Motocross motorcycles
  • Construction equipment
  • Walking
  • RVs
  • Tractors
  • Fire Truck
  • Repelling from the top of the climbing wall
  • Helicopter
  • Harley Davidson motorcycles–Harley Club of Vermont
  • A school bus (GMVS’s old one) that had been modified by Tiger Baird and re-lettered to say “NO SCHOOL” on the side (this vehicle still resides at the Defreest farm on East Warren Road)
  • Vintage sports cars/muscle cars
