STARS Accelerated High School held fall graduation exercises on the evening of June 5, 2014, at Acton Baptist Church. Fifteen students received high school diplomas during the ceremony.
Principal Edwin Young presented the diplomas to the graduates. Granbury ISD superintendent Dr. James Largent congratulated each student, whose tassel was transferred by school board president Mark Jackson. Following the awarding of diplomas, the students presented roses to family members, friends, and others that helped them finish their high school education.
