Class of 2013 Graduation is Today

The day has finally come – the class of 2013 is set to graduate from Windham High School.

The event is scheduled to take place on the WHS soccer field beginning at 6 p.m., weather permitting.

The current forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and 70-degree weather around that time tonight.

Should the ceremony need to transition inside, it will take place in the Windham High gymnasium, which was the site of last year's event. That decision will be made by 3 p.m. Notifications will be made by phone and the AlertNow system and each guest will be required to bring a ticket to attend.

If you have a family member in need of handicapped seating, contact the main office at 603-537-2400 x3206. Handicapped access is available for both the soccer field and the gymnasium.

This is Windham's first graduating class to have come up through the school ranks K-12.

Another interesting tidbit, it is the first class to have students attending Ivy League universities, and there are also five sets of twins, according to Vice Principal Bob Dawson.

A total of 163 kids will be graduating and the class of 2013 has nearly a 100 percent graduation rate. Last year, the class of 2012 did have the distinction of 100 percent.

This will also be the final year for Tom Murphy, principal of Windham High School. He will leave next year for his hometown of Billerica, Mass.
