Hey Panther fans-just giving you an update! We have been very busy honoring our Seniors! Last weekend was a beautiful town wide parade, and this week we have been holding individual diploma ceremonies! Once all of our graduates receive their diplomas, we will be posting a video of their “graduation”. It’s sure to be FANTASTIC-be on the lookout for it! Here is a glimpse of how Leland CUSD 1 holds graduation 2020!





Sunday was a beautiful day for a parade! This week our grads have their diploma ceremonies. Congrats, Seniors!

I felt it was important to honor our 8th grade graduates as they completed their elementary career and move on to high school! Just like our seniors, they have missed an important celebration of this milestone.
Please know we are all so proud of you and your accomplishments and wish you the best of luck in your high school careers!
CONGRATULATIONS Class of 2024!
