Tulare County Office of Education hosted its annual Court and Community School Commencement to honor this year’s graduates at the Juvenile Detention Facility. Families, Court School Staff, Tulare County Probation staff and other support staff were in attendance as five graduates received their high school diploma. During the ceremony, students expressed their deep gratitude to the teachers and Probation staff who offered guidance, support, and encouragement. A student who spoke said, “graduating is something I once thought was out of reach, but today, I am fully thankful and am full of pride for this accomplishment. This achievement is proof of what hard work, perseverance, and guidance can do for somebody. It represents something that no one can ever take away from me, and it marks a new beginning in my life.” On behalf of Tulare County Probation and Chief Probation Officer Kelly Vernon, we’re incredibly proud of the five graduates who received their diploma today. Congratulations to all!

We want to thank the various Probation Departments and IT Professionals for attending the PITMA meeting.
