St. Aloysius’ senior Class of 2024 continued a school tradition Monday by participating in the annual senior walk.

The 38 seniors did a lap around the grounds of the Vicksburg Catholic School campus, starting and ending at the high school library. They paraded up Hayes Street to St. Francis Xavier Elementary, then back down the hill to the high school.

The event finished with a walk down the main hall of the high school as classmates, teachers, staff and parents cheered them on from both sides.

St. Al’s Class of 2024 will graduate on Tuesday, May 21, at 6 p.m. at the Ardis T. Williams City Auditorium.
