Paris, Tenn.–Henry County High School’s Class of 2024 had 321 graduates who received $5,213,950 in scholarships to continue their education, according to information from the high school.
Friday night’s graduation ceremonies proceeded without a hitch from when the students walked into Patriot Stadium until they threw their hats in the air. After a rainy morning, school officials were able to host the ceremony outdoors.
The following information was supplied by the HCHS counseling office, which relied on information submitted by the graduates themselves. Any name omitted is because the student did not submit the information.
