Attleboro High Graduation Ceremony Moved Inside
The ceremony will take place at 6 p.m. in the large gymnasium. Each graduating student is limited to two tickets.
Due to the impending storm, Attleboro High School Principal Bill Runey sent an email to the Class of 2013 and families Thursday informing them that Friday's graduation ceremony will take place inside. The result will be limited seating for students' family members. Each student will be allowed two tickets. Below is Runey's full letter: Dear AHS Class of 2013 and Families, Due to concerns about safety and the ability to have a meaningful ceremony to celebrate our graduates, I am moving the ceremony to the Large Gym.

Seekonk has Steven Howitt for our State Rep. He's a Republican, well, a Massachusetts Republican. He doesn't get a 9x12 daily picture with a fluff piece on The Patch (you know I love the Patch!) and he doesn't write daily blogs with no comments allowed. Here’s a link I’ve found, showing some of the legislation he’s sponsored. I’m not saying he’s the best thing since Ronald Regan but, he’s one of … more ›
