Graduates throw their caps in the air during the North Fort Myers High School Class of 2023 commencement ceremony at Hertz Arena in Fort Myers on Sunday, May 21, 2023.

It's that time of year − caps and gowns, and Pomp and Circumstance marches. We call it high school graduation season and hundreds of Lee County high school seniors and their families will be celebrating this important moment of life starting one week from today (May 16).

The News-Press will be covering 15 public high school graduations, publishing photo galleries on news-press.com and our social media platforms of the happy grads as they receive their diplomas.

Congratulations to the Class of 2024!
