On April 21, 2022, , juniors throughout Fuquay-Varina High School received notification that they had been selected as Junior Marshals for the 2022 graduation ceremony. 

“It is an honor for those juniors to be a part of this final ceremony and recognition for seniors,” announced Diana Tarpley, science teacher at FVHS and Junior Marshall adviser.

“We are proud to invite our 2022 Junior Marshals to participate with us in graduation this year,” stated Tarpley. “The Junior Marshals are the top students in the junior class. They serve to help us with graduation procedures, help the seniors line up for graduation, and they basically run graduation for us.”

The Junior Marshals have an important role in FVHS tradition and in the closure that seniors need for graduation. “They represent the cream of the crop of our junior class,” said Tarpley, complimenting the special few. “It is an honor for those juniors to be a part of this final ceremony and recognition for seniors.” 

Last year, the conditions were different as Junior Marshals assisted graduation in the gymnasium. “It was weird because it was COVID,” expressed Nicholas Luke, a current senior and former Junior Marshal electee. “It was in the gym and everything was small and we had to wear masks.”

Hopefully, the Junior Marshals of 2022 will enjoy helping their fellow upperclassmen as they graduate from FVHS taking the next step of their futures.  “I think it’s pretty cool,” voiced Anna Grace Junkin, a junior this year who was one of the few chosen student Marshals. “I think it’s an honor to be selected. I appreciate that they recognize stuff as well as sports.”
