HOME Graduation


Mark the occasion in a special way!

Do you have a young adult who will be finishing their high school education in 2025? If so, HOME would like to invite you to participate in a very special graduation ceremony. Join us to mark this momentous occasion in the life of your child! 

HOME's graduation ceremony provides a great sense of accomplishment for each participating family. The event also provides encouragement for other homeschoolers to continue on through high school! 

In addition, the ceremony provides a wonderful way to include family and friends in a special celebration. Parents take part in the event, too, and will present the diploma to their child.
