Project Graduation 2011
Haddam Killingworth High School
“Anchors Aweigh”

             On June 21, 2011, the Haddam Killingworth High School Project Graduation Committee held its 22nd Project Graduation Celebration for the Haddam Killingworth High School Class of 2011. The theme of this year’s party was “Anchors Aweigh.” This year’s event was attended by 148 graduates and 10 guests.

The party started at 10:30 p.m. and lasted until the wee hours of the morning. The tired graduates left the field house around 5 a.m., each having received a gift and having experienced a night to remember. The graduates were entertained by a DJ all night long, along with a magician, and air brush tattoo artists. Activities included human foosball, mini NASCAR racing, a bungee trampoline and Gladiator. The graduates also enjoyed ping-pong, volleyball and swimming. Contests included cash giveaways throughout the night, a pie eating contest, Twister contest and a Limbo contest The graduates also enjoyed unlimited food, including all the specialties they might find on a cruise, pizza, ziti , ice sculptures, fruit and of course, cake – and unlimited beverages. At the end of the evening, each graduate received a gift, intended to assist in the transition to college or career; two lucky members of the class of 2011 received lap top computers.

The Committees of HKHS Project Graduation are dedicated to providing the graduating seniors of HKHS with a safe, alcohol- and substance-free venue to celebrate their achievements with their classmates. We could not make the event happen without the many members of our communities who donate their time, efforts, money, products, food, beverages and support to Project Graduation. To all our supporters, to the members of our communities, and to the graduates: Thank you for making this event at success!
