Graduates prepare to travel the road ahead

This weekend, more than 700 seniors will graduate during ceremonies that will be held for all four of the area’s high schools — Camas, Washougal, Excelsior and Hayes Freedom.

For each and every one of these graduates, it is the culmination of more than a decade of hard work and determination that has involved homework, tests, projects and presentations. They have traveled a road that has been paved with challenges, successes, failures and sometimes personal hardships.
