Swing Out 2009! A 76-year Lapeer tradition recognizes achievement of graduates

Swing Out, the unique graduation tradition of Lapeer Community Schools, put the 76th annual event in the books on Thursday, May 28th.

Family, friends and the community clogged downtown Lapeer to recognize the achievements of hundreds of graduating seniors at Lapeer East, Lapeer West and Lapeer Community High Schools.

The rich tradition, which includes the giving of flowers, balloons and gifts to the graduating seniors is a right-of-passage in Lapeer.

To see a photo album of the event go to our District photo gallery.

In the early years of Swing Out students from the entire District marched.

That was changed a number of years ago to just the graduating seniors.

It is a must see event.
