Tears were shed Wednesday at the 2024 Webb Street School graduation ceremony after 16 Gaston students received their diplomas.

The ceremony began at 11:30 a.m. in the school's gymnasium with the processional, pledge of allegiance, and opening comments from Webb Street Principal Christopher Mills.

A special song was performed by Zara Gonzales before special awards like the principal's award, silent hero award, and "Yes I can," awards were distributed to select students.

Gaston County Schools Superintendent Morgan Houchard addressed the class before diplomas were awarded, and the event came to a close after a performance by the Webb Street School chorus.

More than 2,000 students graduated from Gaston County Schools last week.

The Gazette is publishing graduation photos at GastonGazette.com and on Facebook.
