Your time at Polk County High School, Polk County Early College, Landrum High School and Lake Lure Classical Academy has prepared you well for what’s to come, and you can be proud of all that you’ve accomplished during your years here. You’ve formed lifelong friendships, discovered new

To the Class of 2023: On behalf of the Polk County Board of Education and all of Polk County Schools, I want to congratulate our Polk County High School and Polk County Early College graduates, the Class of 2023.
This is a very special time of year for you seniors and your families, and for us as teachers and staff. It is rewarding to see the culmination of your hard work, and we feel fortunate to have played a part in preparing you for a productive future.
Commencement marks an end and a beginning. The coming weeks will go by quickly, as you finish exams, attend awards nights and prepare for graduation ceremonies. Take some time to reflect on the effort and commitment it has taken to get you to this point. Take pride in your accomplishments and realize you will need the same dedication and resolve to be successful going forward.
I would also encourage you to join me in thanking your families, your communities, and the Polk
County Schools educators who have helped you reach your goals. Know that we are very proud of you and that your Wolverine Family is behind you all the way.
