Palmetto High Graduates file out of the LittleJohn Coliseum with smiles on their faces after receiving their diplomas Thursday. Area graduates of Palmetto, Wren and Woodmont are now entering a new phase of their lives as they leave high school behind and move on to college, work, creating families and possibly changing the world. A special salute to graduates of all three schools is included in this edition of The Journal. “We wish all our area graduates and their families all the best as they celebrate this milestone,” Journal Managing Editor David Meade said.
