KERNERSVILLE — Bishop McGuinness High School seniors and faculty members celebrated College Decision Day, or what’s colloquially called “cupcake day,” on May 1. For eight years, Bishop McGuinness has held this party for seniors to recognize their hard work and accomplishments throughout the college process.
All seniors are encouraged to wear their college or “Bishop bling” and celebrate in the counseling center by eating cupcakes, pinning their name under their college pennant, reviewing old yearbooks and sharing future plans. Faculty members also wear their college alumni gear.
The party is a celebration of days past and days ahead. It also brings the students’ experience full circle: First-year students receive mini cupcakes during Freshmen First Day.
