Graduation Guidelines for Parents and Guests
Please note the following:
- There will be open seating in both the home and visitor stands, with no tickets required.
- The stadium will open at 8:30 a.m. with seating on a first come-first served basis. Any seats saved must be released at 9:20 a.m.
- Graduates are expected to report to advisory classrooms by 8:30 a.m. that morning.
- Seniors must attend mandatory graduation practices on Wednesday (5/30) and Thursday (5/31) from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- No one except for the graduates and participants in the ceremony are allowed on the field. This includes before, during, and after the ceremony.
- We ask that parents and guests act in a way that does not detract from the experience of others. Horns or noisemakers are not allowed because they drown out the names of graduates being read and are harmful to the ears of those around them. Guests should refrain from bringing signs or banners, balloons, umbrellas or standing on the bleachers, as these will negatively impact others' ability to see the proceedings.
- At the conclusion of the ceremony, students will be asked to leave the field and reunite with family and friends near the Field House/Basketball courts for pictures and light refreshments.
