It's that time of year again when a parent's tears flow as quickly as mortar board hats fill the sky.
Graduation 2017 from Acalanes, Campolindo and Miramonte was no different, as the three Lamorinda high schools braved a breezy evening to commemorate the nearly 1,000 local graduates heading off to college, the military, work, gap years and other exciting opportunities.
The graduation caps were decorated from everything from the student's college of choice to their favorite movies. One Campo graduate channeled his own Summer of Love by dressing in flower child gear, while another graduate rocked a cap made of money.
The diversity of the caps reflected the diversity of each student accepting a diploma on June 9, representing their own Independence Day from 13 years of traditional schooling. For a list of all graduating seniors, see page A11. And best of luck, graduates, from the Lamorinda Weekly! - Peggy Spear
