Students entered the Golden City High School gym during 2022 commencement exercises held Saturday, May 14. Following the processional, a time of appreciation was taken by students as they handed out yellow carnations to those that had been instrumental in their development throughout their school years. Following the salutatorian address by Caleb Cifuentes and the valedictorian address by Jolee Rector, high school principal Chris Long presented the class as they stood to walk up on stage to receive their diplomas. Following the recessional, graduates gathered at the corner of the gym for the tradition of tossing their caps in the air.
