It was time for graduation ceremonies on Wednesday at Glassboro High School.

And as is tradition, there was one place the seniors had to go before they got their diplomas. They went back to school. Their first school.

Glassboro seniors were back at Harvey Rodgers Elementary School. They walked the hallways to the cheers of the current elementary school kids.

For some, it's quite emotional. They were in those same classrooms many years ago. Meanwhile, for the young ones, it's what they will do a decade from now.

It’s a tradition called the Bulldog Buddy Farewell.

Rodgers Elementary posted on Facebook their congrats to the Class of 2026. And that no matter where life takes you, remember that your journey started here.
