Mill Creek High School Graduation

For the fourth day this week I photographed a graduation, this time 720 seniors from Mill Creek High School walked across the stage at Mill Creek Community Stadium to receive their diplomas in Dacula, GA on Friday May 27, 2011. This year, Mill Creek’s graduating class received over $13 million in scholarship money for continuing education. Out of the 720 seniors who walked tonight 171 did so with honors. These are my favorite images for the Daucla Patch that I photographed tonight.
