KITSAP — When he dons a cap and gown and walks as one of about 373 Central Kitsap High School seniors who graduate June 12, Jeremy Carlson will be looking forward to his future, but he also has fond memories of his high school days.

“I’m going to miss traveling to sporting events with friends. Before football games we threw a few tailgates which were pretty fun,” Carlson said of what he would miss about high school.

“Also, high school dances were a blast,” he said.

“One of my favorite memories was being on homecoming court. I got to walk in the gym with my mom and be recognized and cheered on by the school. And that same day at the homecoming football game I got to ride in a golf cart and throw a bunch of free stuff at the fans.”

Carlson said he plans to attend Seattle University in the fall with an undecided major.

A total of about 1,095 seniors like Carlson in the Central Kitsap and Bremerton school districts are getting ready as graduation approaches.

The graduation ceremony for Olympic High School is June 11. Central Kitsap and Bremerton High School graduation is June 12 and Klahowya Secondary School’s big day is June 13.

Graduation for CKSD schools will be held in the Kitsap Sun Pavilion at 7 p.m. for CKHS and OHS, and at 1 p.m. for KSS. Bremerton High School graduation will be held in the Bremerton Memorial stadium at 7 p.m.

Roughly 310 seniors will graduate from Bremerton High School this month. Each student will get 10 tickets to invite family and friends. CKHS will have 373 students walking with seven tickets each. OHS will have 262 with seven tickets. KSS will have 150 graduates with 16 tickets.
