Celebrate Your Graduations, Great Grades

Did you earn a diploma this semester? Make the Dean's List? Receive a scholarship? Share news of your accomplishment on Patch. It's free and easy.

If you’re looking to share a graduation announcement, achieving a spot on the Dean’s List or receiving a scholarship, you can post this news on Dallas-Hiram Patch.
