The excitement of graduation begins at 7 p.m. Thursday for members of the South Fulton High School Class of 2013.
They will meet in the school gym for Class Night, which will begin with a processional to “Don’t Stop Believin’” and will include a welcome by Mikaela Hardy, class president and valedictorian. Corrisa Bettis, one of the class historians, will read the Senior Poem and Taylor Martin, class treasurer, will present Who’s Who from the graduates. Hayley Pilcher, another of the historians, will read the class history and Tori Gammon, class secretary, will be in charge of the presentation of gifts.
Guidance counselor Pam Burrow, SFHS principal Keith Frazier and Dr. Mike Hawks will announce Honors and Emily McCartney, third class historian and class salutatorian, will introduce the class video.
The members of the class will then sing their Alma Mater and Samantha Murray, the class vice president, will offer the closing.

On Friday evening at 5:30, in the gym, members of the class will receive their diplomas in long-awaited graduation ceremonies that will begin as they process to “Pomp and Circumstance.” Their high school achievements will be indicated by colors they will be wearing.
