🎓✨ Senior Walk 2025 ✨🎓
🎉 It’s time for one of our favorite HCA traditions — Senior Walk!
🎓 On Friday, May 23rd, we’ll celebrate the Class of 2025 as they parade around campus in their graduation regalia, cheered on by the entire HCA Village.
All of our seniors are invited, including those graduating from other high schools who attended Horse Creek Academy at any point in their educational journey — once you're part of our Village, you're always part of our Village. 💙
📍 Seniors should arrive at the Elementary Commons by 8:45 AM
🎉 The parade begins at 9:00 AM
⭐️ This milestone moment is always filled with joy, hugs, high-fives, and plenty of happy tears. We can’t wait to celebrate the amazing accomplishments of our seniors — no matter where their journey has taken them.
