The evening will begin with the Baccalaureate Mass at 6:30 p.m. in the school auditorium. Following the Mass, major awards and scholarships will be presented, along with certificates for the 8th-grade students. The ECCSS PTO will sponsor a dance for 8th graders following matriculation, until 10:00 p.m. The dance will be held in the school cafeteria. Ladies may want to bring flip-flops if they do not want to wear dress shoes. For safety reasons, students must wear shoes during the dance.
