Hempfield Area High School

Hempfield Area seniors will have to wait an extra day to get their diploma.

Originally scheduled for May 30, graduation will now be held May 31, rain or shine.

The last day of school also is pushed back until May 31 to make up days lost due to snow, frigid temperatures and power outages. Teachers will end the school year the following week.

School will now be in session April 18 and April 22, days originally slated for Easter break.
