Carson High School graduates the Class of 2017
Thousands crowded the Carson High football stadium Saturday morning to watch more than 500 graduating seniors receive their diplomas as the Class of 2017 made its official transition out of grade school and into the world of adulthood.
Seniors Alyssa Woodward and Ana Glenn delivered opening remarks before diplomas were passed to one of Carson High's largest graduating classes.
Glenn opened Saturday morning's ceremony as valedictorian, while Woodward spoke to her fellow seniors as their class president.
CHS Principal Tasha Fuson offered some final words of wisdom and advice to students she had come to know well over the last four years, before ushering them forward to receive their high school diplomas.
Saliman Drive from William to Robinson streets shut down to through traffic for the massive event, which required overflow parking at Mills Park and the Marv Teixeira Pavilion as well as church parking lots and street parking down Robinson.
The Carson City Sheriff's Office and Nevada Highway Patrol provided traffic control at the intersections of William and Saliman as well as Robinson and Saliman.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area until traffic control has been lifted following post-graduation activities on the field at school.
