As another school year comes to an end, students and teachers often reflect on the year that has passed. For Withrow Tigers, both present and former, this is particularly true because one of the most important lessons learned this year took place outside of the classroom.
Today the Withrow Class of 2017 Seniors walked across the bridge to celebrate their graduation. For the first time, after the bridge walk, a celebration was held in front of the school. Food was enjoyed by graduates, proud parents and others, and music was provided by DJ Stank. A raffle was held for Seniors with the winners receiving a dormitory room starter kit or a $25 gift certificate. Donated Reds tickets were sold to fund a brick in honor of the Class of 2017, and annuals for the Class of 2017 were available for sale. The weather cooperated, and the celebration was a great addition to the bridge walk. The celebration was organized by the Withrow PTSA with helpful donations from the Withrow Alumni Assn. and others.

Thursday May 18th – 10 AM to 1 PM
The Withrow PTSA invites all alumni to join the Class of 2017 for their Senior Day Bridge Walk.
Following the Walk will be a celebration in the stadium with alumnus DJ Stank. Damon George.
See you at Withrow High School!!

But her instincts cut right through a fairway that has not always been so easy to negotiate these days.
