A Central High School senior denied to walk at graduation.

A high school student, Denorris Wilson, that attends Central High school in Pageland, SC has been denied the chance to walk at his upcoming graduation ceremony for defending hiself in a fight against a 9th grader with a proven track record of discipline problems that school cameras captured the 9th grader hitting Wilson first! The student who made the first physical contact had just returned from the Department of Juvenile Justice just a month prior to the incident. The officer on scene also witnessed Wilson apologizing and stating that he did not want to fight that he was just asking a question.  Wilson has played football and participated in track all four years of his high school career.  Wilson has maintained all passing grades with no discipline record. This fight took place one day before Wilson's last day of school his senior year. Wilson also plans to enroll in the United Staes Air Force after graduation. Wilson's teachers have also tried to be a voice for him to get the principal to let him walk at his graduation ceremony! The principal keeps saying no! Wilson is devastated after all his hard work and accomplishments during his four years at Central High School! Let's come together as a community to help this young man be able to walk at his graduation ceremony by singing the petition.
