CHCCS Project Graduation

Hey everyone! Project Graduation 2027 marks our 35th year creating safe, equitable and thrilling graduation celebrations for Chapel Hill/Carrboro City School District graduating seniors. We need 200+ volunteers on June 12, 2027 to make this epic night a reality. Plus, we REALLY need a Carrboro High set-up chair, someone we can pass the torch to and lead Carrboro High's efforts for 2028. Visit https://www.projectgraduationchccs.org to learn more and email [email protected] to volunteer with us.
