On Saturday, June 2,IYRS students will take part in the school’s unique graduation rite at the school docks. Instead of picking up diplomas that prove hours of learning, students will launch and showcase the boats they spent the past year building and restoring. The public is welcome to join “Launch Day” festivities and see the fine craftsmanship produced by IYRS students in the school’s three programs in Boatbuilding & Restoration, Marine Systems, and Composites Technology.
Graduation ceremonies begin inside IYRS Restoration Hall at 10 am; after the inside portion of the ceremony, the crowd will migrate outside to the IYRS docks to inspect students’ work and witness the launching of the fleet.
