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.
