Almost 800 Millikan seniors—an estimated 792—streamed across the stage at Veterans Stadium Wednesday afternoon, celebrating the completion of their high school career, during the school’s 66th annual commencement ceremony.

Principal Alejandro Vega and ASB Co-President Isabelle Clarke welcomed and congratulated graduates before student presentations that included seniors Sophia Moore, Sofia Ascencio and Tru Jones.

Long Beach Unified hosted a number of graduations this week, with a total of about 5,300 students graduating from high school this spring in the district.
