Onward and Upward: W.H. Students Mark Milestones

West Hempstead holds moving up ceremonies for its Kindergarteners, Fifth and Eighth Graders.

The seniors of West Hempstead High School weren't the only students in the district to celebrate a milestone in their educational careers as they accepted their diplomas Sunday night.

Earlier this month, the youngest minds of the community donned caps and gowns to graduate from the Kindergarten program at Chestnut Street School. The district also held moving up ceremonies in recent days for its fifth graders, who will make the leap to the Middle School in the fall, and eighth graders, who will be heading into high school.

Check out some of the photos from the ceremonies in West Hempstead.
