The Graduating Seniors Program was developed by U.S. Figure Skating to recognize the achievements of
those individuals graduating from high school who have made the commitment to continue their training in
figure skating while pursuing their academic studies.
The purpose of this program is to honor and credit those qualified graduates for their hievements during their
high school years through the presentation of a certificate to the skater during a school function or recognition opportunity.
