This certificate is an important gesture if we consider the additional circumstances the students deal with such as parents/spouses deploying or their own responsibilities for those that are serving in the military. We will provide the certificates and get them to the school in April or the best timeframe for the schools. Submit no later than October 15 for a Fall Graduation.
