Thunderbird Rd. The Washline Graduation 2012 News for the WHS Community Graduation Class of 2011 Graduation May 24 th Graduation will be held at Phoenix First Assembly May 31, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. 13613 North Cave Creek Road Parking will be tight and traffic will be heavy. Please leave plenty of time to get to the facility. Because of limited seating, you must have a ticket to attend graduation. Graduates need to arrive by 6:15 p.m. Guest Protocol for Graduation Ceremony Graduation from high school is an event that comes once in a lifetime. The Class of 2012 deserves a grad- uation ceremony that will be dignified and memorable, as do all parents, relatives and friends. It is expected that all guests use courteous behavior during this formal ceremony. Loud, boisterous behavior detracts from the ceremony and prohibits the audience from hearing the names of all graduates as they are announced. Washington Interact Club Sponsor Given Highest Honor by Rotary Club Washington High School Interact Club Sponsor Jill Green was recently honored with the Paul Harris Fellowship award by the Sun City Rotary Club. According to Rotary Club President Julie Bell, this is the, "highest international honor any club can present to an individual." Jill Green was chosen because of her commitment to volunteerism and dedication to providing opportunities for students to get involved. The Interact Club joins forces with the Sun City Rotary Club to participate in multiple volunteer activities each month, including generating donations for food banks, tutoring children, organizing donated clothing, collecting food and toiletries for the homeless, and assisting disabled children. The Sun City Rotary Club has sponsored the WHS Interact Club since Helene Forcier started the club over a decade ago. According to Julie Bell, this award is, "verification internationally that Washington High School, its leadership, its faculty and its staff, is strongly committed to offer its students magnificent opportunities beyond the classroom." With this honor, Jill Green joins such famous Paul Harris Fellows as John McCain, Sandra Day O'Connor, Bill Gates, and John F. Kennedy. Congratulations, Ms. Green!
