News Flash - Graduation is Free at Montgomery Blair HS

Montgomery Blair HS Principal Darryl Williams will NOT require seniors in Blair HS's class of 2010 to pay senior dues in order to attend graduation at DAR Constitution Hall on June 4.

Previously, Mr. Williams announced that seniors must pay a mandatory graduation fee of $35, on top of obtaining a cap, gown, and tassel, in order to participate in the ceremonies next month.

In an acknowledgement of the financial circumstances facing many students in his community, and in a response to concerns raised by a Blair parent, Mr. Williams reconsidered, and will allow all Blair students to attend graduation at DAR.

Here is the summary obtained by Parents Coalition:


Great decision Mr.Williams!

Next question - will other principals in Montgomery County follow Mr. Williams' leadership?
