2025 Graduation Ceremony For K, 8th, 12th

 

Welcome to Faithful Scholar’s 2025 Graduation Ceremony to be held at the fabulous and fun Hagood Mills Historic Site in Pickens, SC! The ceremony is open to all home school kindergarten, 8th, and 12th grade graduates regardless of membership with Faithful Scholars or SC residency.

Beginning 2025, we will add an EOY picnic for all Faithful Scholars families!!

WHAT:  NOT your run of the mill sterile name announcing, walk across the stage commencement. Faithful Scholars’ graduation team creates a STUDENT-FOCUSED CELEBRATION where older students pick out their walk up song and Kindergarten parents present certificates and wisdom to their child.

Brag tables are set up to be appreciated by all attendees. A for-purchase coffee/snack bar follows the morning K ceremony.

For 8th and 12th graduates, a commencement address and prayer will set the tone prior to the amplified presentation of song, student, and diploma to culminate with a tossing of the caps, visiting, and s’mores.

TESTIMONIALS:

“The graduation ceremony was fantastic, please pass along my appreciation of creating such a special day.  We had our oldest’s USCL graduation (Associate in Arts) two weeks before that, and it wasn’t nearly as special.  At the FS graduation she was a person, able to express herself, able to take in the moment. It wasn’t just her accomplishment, but ours. It was a long, hard and beautiful road and we did it.  That rose was on point…. tears, oh my…. a rose in bloom. Which brings me to my next point. I was truly afraid to get her through high school. I didn’t want to slow her down. I wanted her to lack nothing. If it weren’t for you and speaking confidence into me, she and I wouldn’t be where we are today. We have a beautiful relationship and I know for certain that we would not have  it if she had attended a brick and mortar school. I love that as she walks into adulthood we have a mutual respect and SUCH deep love and friendship. Katie, I thank God for you and pray blessings, perseverance, health, peace, and strength for you. You and your team are simply amazing. Thank you. ”  – Naomi H
