Graduation
Morris Jeff Community School will celebrate its Fourth Commencement Ceremony on Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 10:00 AM at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church. The Class of 2024 consists of 103 seniors anticipating graduation.
We are excited to announce that this year’s Commencement speaker will be Dr. Janina Jeff Ringo, population geneticist and science journalist. Dr. Ringo is the first African American to graduate with a PhD in Human Genetics from Vanderbilt University. She is a Staff Bioinformatics Scientist at Illumina, developing pipelines for content annotation, selection, and design of population genome-wide content. Dr. Ringo is also the oldest great-granddaughter of our namesake, Morris F.X. Jeff, and serves on the Morris Jeff Board of Directors.
Graduates must arrive by 9:00 AM. Each graduate is allowed 10 guests for the ceremony. Tickets are distributed at Graduation Rehearsal. There are three entrances – one on each side of the building. Entrance D is for graduates only, and Entrances A and B are for families and guests. Families are encouraged to drop off their graduate first, then park near the guest entrances. After the ceremony, it will be easier for graduates and guests to depart from the guest entrance.
Event Livestream: Available on Morris Jeff Media YouTube channel.
