Hi-Noon: Perfect Attendance Record

Two high school students in southwestern Idaho are on track to graduate next week without having missed a day of class since kindergarten. On Tuesday, Meridian student Danny Ciaccio will graduate from Centennial High School, while Capital High School senior Tyler Marsh will don his cap and gown in Boise. Both are 18. They have not missed a day of class since they enrolled in public school 13 years ago, the Idaho Statesman reports. "I'm relieved it's almost over. Especially when I think of all the people who said it couldn't be done," said Ciaccio, who started thinking about the streak in the second grade, when he saw a student honored for perfect attendance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show"/Associated Press.

Question: How would you describe your attendance record during your "glory days"?
