Graduation Ceremony '11 Excerpts
Polk County Traditions
The first yearbook shows a place of high expectation and promise.
This helps bridge the gap between the school's origins and the start of Tracks. This school year was big on being family. Mr. Powell also helped with continuity.
This was the last DVD in a four-year series that was sold at graduation to include four-plus years of Tracks along with the graduation ceremony.
Gene Vanderford was the band director and song's creator
This lunch critique was in the first 1995 Tracks broadcast and began the weekly TV show tradition. The teacher had much to learn; classes use it on the exam to critique all the areas to improve.
On February 13, 2011, Eloise Thwing's 20 years of service to the Thermal Belt Outreach was recognized.
Mrs. Margaret Forbes equipped hundreds of students with a good start to their schooling.
The Academic Recovery Center has been supportive of high school students needing individualized help.
A great resource for tapping into roots and traditions is this museum. Two tour guides help with this day's journey.
A tour guide at Columbus's House of Flags was leading high school students around the museum and offered these comments along the way.
This gives a quick overview of the 4th and final DVD in a series that attempted to capture the graduation and the best of the Tracks TV show for freshman through senior year.

"Senior Seconds" were given to seniors in the Keepsake DVD in 2010 and 2011. The sampling stretches from just before the toddling stage to the senior prom.

Miscellaneous
This was a memorable pep rally from about 2005 with some input from some special mothers and sons.
The 1997 computer was brand new to class use and camera shots were still experimental. The first version of twister gave special effects; the second told a fuller story.
This goes to the extreme in showing best student efforts in a classroom. Students generally like spoofs on others; this strikes a chord that maybe only teachers can appreciate.
PCHS Graduations
Graduates for all four years at PCHS started in 1996. Only two graduation exercises had to be held in the auditorium due to rain. Only the stadium could allow ample seating for all friends and relatives of the graduates. Videotapes and DVD's were sold commercially from about 2003 to 2007.
