Introduction
IntroductionGraduation should be a time to celebrate students’ achievements, yet recent events have turned these ceremonies into tragic scenes of violence.

The Urgent Problem
Gun violence at high school graduations is a disturbing trend that undermines the sense of accomplishment and joy associated with these ceremonies. In the spring of 2024 alone, there have been multiple incidents:
- Cape Girardeau, MO: A dispute at a concession stand escalated into a shooting, injuring two people and causing the cancellation of the remainder of the ceremony and classes the following day.
- Kansas City, MO: Shots were fired as students walked across the stage, leading to a chaotic evacuation and the cancellation of the event.
- Boiling Springs, SC: A road rage incident in the parking lot resulted in a man brandishing a gun and causing panic.
- Cincinnati, OH: An 18-year-old graduate was killed in a school parking lot during an unauthorized party.
- Albuquerque, NM: A mother was shot inside an auditorium during a graduation ceremony.
