This week, Wayne County Public Schools (WCPS) will kick off its graduation season with more than 210 students graduating from its three Non-Traditional Calendar schools: Wayne School of Engineering, Goldsboro High School and Wayne Early/Middle College High School.

In June, the district’s five traditional calendar high schools will hold their ceremonies with approximately 950 seniors becoming graduates.  Altogether, more than 1,160 WCPS graduating seniors will take the stage to receive their high school diploma. The 2024 Graduation Schedule is as follows:

“While there are many milestones that are celebrated in all of our schools each year, there is nothing more exciting for a school district than its high school graduations,” said Dr. Marc Whichard, WCPS Superintendent. “These ceremonies reflect the dedicated efforts and contributions that occur in our schools across the grade levels by our classroom teachers, instructional support staff, student support teams, school administrators, club advisors, athletic coaches, parents, volunteers, and community partners. Earning a high school diploma positions students for greater success in life and in their next steps as they move on to college, the military, or the workforce. On behalf of our Board of Education and the entire school district, we wish all of our graduating seniors continued success in their future endeavors.”
