Johnny Robinson, a graduate at The Out-of-Door Academy, had mixed emotions as he put on his cap and gown.
While he's looking forward to heading off to Florida State University to study commercial entrepreneurship, he's sad to be leaving the friends that have felt more like family since starting at ODA in kindergarten.
"It's a big deal that I'm finally leaving ODA, the place I've called home for 13 years," Robinson said. "It's exciting but sad."
Graduate Jason Albano said he was feeling a lot of emotions as he was preparing for the ceremony. He said leaving ODA is bittersweet.
"We've all grown up together," Albano said of his classmates. "I couldn't ask for a better group of guys to be friends with though."
