Graduation Ceremony
NHEA offers kindergarten, eighth grade, and senior graduation ceremonies. We recognize the dedication, hard work, and unique accomplishments of each graduate while creating a memorable graduation ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and fellow homeschool families.
The keys to an exceptional and memorable graduation ceremony include, first and foremost, a covering of prayer, followed by direct parent and student involvement as detailed plans are developed and executed. Past graduation ceremonies have been successful due to the cooperation of many parents and other volunteers giving of their time and talent to create a first-class event.
The graduation ceremony is meaningful and often emotional. Both students and parents actively participate in the ceremony. The years of teaching and training culminate in a graduation and commencement in a way unlike anything you have previously experienced.
After the graduation ceremony, a reception for the graduates, their friends, and families is provided.
