More than 150 students received their high school diplomas at Tucson Unified School District’s summer graduation.
The ceremony took place at Sahuaro High School, 545 N. Camino Seco, last Thursday.
Two of the graduates took part through the Steps to Success program, which enlisted staff and community members to knock on doors to encourage students who have left school to come back and complete their diplomas.
