I'm sure there are a few in the nation, but I have yet to find the public high school that does not have a baccalaureate service. One might wonder why that special service did not meet the needs of the students for public prayer, and if the affected high school did have such a service, one wonders how lawyers for each side might argue it affects such a case.

This strikes me as theologically incoherent as well as constitutionally troubling (though more in terms of constitutional morality rather than law.)Graduations frequently involve not just commencement, but a series of celebrations over the course of the weekend. Why not reserve religious celebrations for a separate ceremony shared among their community of faith?David
