Twenty-nine Travis High School of Choice seniors filed down the aisle of Paris Junior High Schoolâs Weger Auditorium on Thursday, and just more than a half-hour later, 29 graduates walked off stage into the open arms of friends and family.
Standing ovations and loud cheers echoed throughout the auditorium as seniorsâ names were called to accept their diploma from Paris ISD Superintendent Paul Jones after hearing from Lamar County Chamber of Commerce President Paul Allen. Allen touched on opportunities the graduates can chase, and he lamented one of the costs of the Covid-19 pandemic â the loss of connecting students with local businesses.
