Baccalaureate service
A Baccalaureate service is a ceremonial gathering held to honor graduates before or after their graduation ceremony. It typically includes speeches, readings, and music that celebrate achievement, reflect on life's purpose, and inspire graduates as they transition to the next stage of their lives. While often associated with religious or spiritual themes, it can also be a non-religious event focused on community and personal growth. The service provides a meaningful moment for graduates, families, and friends to come together, reflect on accomplishments, and look forward with hope and encouragement.
