High school graduation! It's the most wonderful time of the year!

We love high school graduation ceremonies.

All the colorful pomp. All the emotional circumstance. And all the images of our county's smiling students!

The Post's photo staff (with a timely assist from colleagues at the Palm Beach Daily News) — Greg Lovett, Thomas Cordy, Meghan McCarthy and Damon Higgins —- are there to chronicle nearly every one of our Palm Beach County School District's ceremonies at the South Florida Fairgrounds.

For our Visuals Editor, Bill Ingram, this rite of passage is no small matter. As a father of a graduate himself, he knows how important this is not only to the students, but the proud parents, and our overall community. And I dare say there are more than a few proud "Pop-Pops" and "Nanas" out there too.

The same goes for Post Digital Editor Laura Lordi (although her son is still a few years from a graduation). Lordi, and digital producers Ceci Mazanec and Michele Kelley work closely with our photographers and videographers to create wonderful galleries from each graduation ceremony.

We know it can seem like small potatoes compared to some of the bigger, meatier news the Post has to cover on a daily basis. But for these students and their loved ones, and even the community surrounding their high school, this moment is just as important as any breaking news or investigative story. At least, today it is.

March on, Palm Beach County grads!... We're all so very proud of you.

Thanks again for your continued support. We truly couldn't do this without our subscribers. We couldn't have Post reporters and photographers always out there looking, covering, questioning.

Check out more of our subscriber-only content from the past week below.

I hope you enjoy and continue to support local journalism. Because we're grateful.

And please, tell a friend.
