Obama may personally greet each graduate: Kalamazoo Central seniors to fill out paperwork for Secret Service
KALAMAZOO — The White House appears to be laying the groundwork for President Barack Obama to shake the hand of each senior at Kalamazoo Central High School’s commencement ceremony next month.
Seniors are being asked to provide their birthdates, Social Security numbers and citizen status to the Secret Service so background checks could be performed. Such a check is required for anyone who gets within an arm’s length of the president, students were told at their senior breakfast Friday.
Of the fact that the White House is requesting information on all the graduating seniors, K-Central Principal Von Washingon Jr. told the students, “I’ll let you figure out what that means,” said senior Simon Boehme, who was at the breakfast.
“Everyone is excited that we might have the opportunity to shake the president’s hand,” Boehme said.
K-Central found out May 4 that the school won a national competition that will bring Obama to its commencement as graduation speaker. The ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. June 7 at Western Michigan University’s basketball arena.
Obama-Hitler says, "Papers Please"
Good thing no school in Los Angeles won, no one would be able to attend.
