YOU ARE INVITED!

Each year, Richmond Regional Home Educators hosts a "formal, Christian ceremony dedicated to creating a wonderful graduating experience, full of memories for both the graduates and their parents,  with the goal to ultimately glorify God and His providence in detail and spirit." 

​All surrounding area homeschool families and groups are invited to celebrate the region's homeschool graduates! Seating is unlimited, so each year Monument 2 Mountain will be there to congratulate and celebrate local graduates!

​From their website:

RRHE Graduation is unique in our local area because the graduation will celebrate both the accomplishments of the graduate and the sacrifices of parents in their education journey.  All parents will be an active part of the graduation, proceeding in prior to the graduates to their reserved seating, meeting their graduate on stage to present a gorgeous diploma (part of the package) and pausing to capture this joyous moment with a photo together before returning to their seats. At the close of the graduation, the parents will join their graduate and walk together out of the sanctuary where their unlimited guests can join you to celebrate the start of a new, exciting journey of life. Our graduation package provides several special mementos of the day including  photos and a DVD of the ceremony.
