Many local college students are graduating without experiencing the ceremony of walking across the stage and receiving their diploma. Some colleges and universities are also combining ceremonies for spring, summer and fall graduations so those students will not be announced until later in the year.

If you have a child who graduated from an Atchison County high school and is earning a college degree, please let us know. Some major colleges send information to the newspaper, but not all. Provide your student’s name, degree earned, and the college or university attended.

If you would like to personally congratulate your graduate with a special greeting and picture, call or email the Atchison County Mail (660-744-6245 or amail@rpt.coop) and purchase a congratulatory advertisement Ad costs vary by size.
