Loose Leaf Notes

~ The following photo spread of the 2011 Floyd High School Graduation appeared in the The Floyd Press on June 2,  2011.

Students file up to the podium to receive their diplomas during Sunday’s Graduation Exercises at Floyd County High School.

Some students sported personalized mortarboards for the occasion.

Teachers checked that gowns and caps were straightened before students stepped up to the podium.

Class Valedictorian Russell Callahan receives his diploma and a handshake from Principal Barry Hollandsworth as Superintendent Terry Arbogast looks on.

After exiting the stage with their newly received diplomas, most students stopped to be photographed by friends and family members.

At the close of the ceremony, classmates ceremoniously moved the tassels on their caps to the left side, signifying their graduate status.

Graduates mingled in the parking lot, receiving congratulations and well wishes from friends and family.  Aaron Martin (right) commented that it felt “great” to be a graduate.  He is pictured with Courtney Huff and Josh Miller.

Ethan Eanes, pictured with friend and fellow graduate Ryan Baker, flashes his diploma. ~ Colleen Redman
