A baccalaureate service open to all Monroe High School seniors and other local high school seniors, too, will be held at 7 p.m., Thursday, June 2, in the Monroe High School Auditorium, 901 Herr Rd.

The service is a long-time tradition at Monroe High School and is being planned by several local churches to honor and to inspire this year’s graduates.

All Monroe County graduates are invited and encouraged to attend.  Graduates are asked to wear their school’s cap and gown.  All participating seniors should line up in the foyer outside the auditorium at 6:45 p.m. that night to proceed into the ceremony.

          The inspirational service will include student, teacher and local pastor participation as a way to honor all 2016 graduates.  The Rev. Kevin Eccles, pastor of Monroe Free Methodist Church, will be the keynote speaker.

          For more information, please contact Tammy Massingill at 734-625-0669.
