RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - Graduating seniors from schools across the Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) returned to the campuses where their academic journeys began this month as part of the district’s annual Grad-itude Walk tradition.

On May 13, seniors from Cordova High School and Kinney High School visited former elementary and middle school campuses in Rancho Cordova, where they were welcomed by younger students, teachers and staff members.

The walks featured cheers, high fives, hugs and handmade signs as graduating seniors made their way through school hallways lined with students celebrating their accomplishments.

District officials said the annual tradition is intended to recognize graduating seniors while encouraging younger students to envision their own futures.
