Hauser's Class of 2024 excitedly awaits the turning of their tassels as final preparations are underway for Hauser’s graduation ceremony at 8 p.m. Friday at the Hauser Jr. – Sr. High School Gym, located at 9273 N. State Road 9 in Hope.  

Hauser Principal Kris Fortune says this academic year has flown by and it seems each school year tends to go by quicker with each passing year.

As graduation preparations are still underway at the time of this writing, Fortune says the “kind, funny, compassionate and caring” 53 seniors of Hauser’s graduating class are a small group of kids, but they’re “mighty” with amazing futures ahead of them.

“This is a wonderful group of seniors we’ve been fortunate enough to have,” Fortune says. “They’re going to go out, do wonderful things and create a lot of joy in a lot of people’s lives. I’m proud of everything everyone has accomplished this year."
