Graduation

FCA Graduation

FCA has had the distinct privilege of offering its members an unforgettable graduation ceremony each year. Ceremonies are offered for the Kindergarten, Fifth Grade, Eighth Grade and Senior classes. It’s a milestone and huge academic accomplishment that should be celebrated by going all out, and that is just what we do at FCA! Past ceremonies have been held at Opryland Hotel, the Grand Ole Opry House, Hermitage Golf Course Rose Garden, and in large churches. 2024 ceremonies will be held at Old Hickory Naz Sanctuary

Promotion Ceremony

This afternoon K, 5th, and 8th grade ceremony is the perfect opportunity for you to recognize your student(s) for their academic accomplishments. Students will be fitted in cap and gown and issued their diplomas.

Senior Graduation

The second ceremony honors our graduating Seniors. This joyous evening will always be remembered as one of the highlights of your families’ and friends’ lives as they see the graduates recognized for their hard work and achievements. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend to support our Seniors!

Special Touches

The FCA Graduation ceremony has a lot of special touches that will make your students’ graduation very memorable. The ceremony is decorated to make an impression of elegance and celebration. Parents are asked to submit four pictures of the graduate that will be placed into a movie format with background music. Pictures are arranged chronologically in order to show your student growing up on the big screen to be viewed by all your family and friends on graduation day.

FCA also asks that each participant send in a short 4-5 sentence bio which is read as they walk across the stage to receive their diploma.
