	Congratulations 2010 Graduates May 30, 2010 152 Arab High School 2010 seniors are now alumni after graduation ceremonies at the high school auditorium Friday night. The 2010 graduating class represented the 88th graduating class from Arab High School. The threat of thunderstorms forced the ceremonies into the high school auditorium instead of the football field. Moving the ceremonies to the auditorium limited the number of relatives and friends who were able to attend the ceremony. An equal number of tickets were distributed to each graduate prior to the event to be used to invite their special guests. While the possibility of moving the ceremony to the auditorium was on the mind of school administrators all day due to the weather forecasts, AHS principal Patrick Crowder said it was something they wanted to avoid if at all possible due to the space limitations.

It was only the second time in more than 10 years that the ceremonies were forced from the football field according to Crowder.

152 Arab High School 2010 seniors are now alumni after graduation ceremonies at the high school auditorium Friday night. The 2010 graduating class represented the 88th graduating class from Arab High School.

The threat of thunderstorms forced the ceremonies into the high school auditorium instead of the football field. Moving the ceremonies to the auditorium limited the number of relatives and friends who were able to attend the ceremony. An equal number of tickets were distributed to each graduate prior to the event to be used to invite their special guests.

While the possibility of moving the ceremony to the auditorium was on the mind of school administrators all day due to the weather forecasts, AHS principal Patrick Crowder said it was something they wanted to avoid if at all possible due to the space limitations.
