 This is the culminating event of your child’s high school career. The ceremony will be formal in nature with each student receiving his or her diploma from a member of the School Board. The ceremony will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m., so please allow sufficient time to find parking and seating. Also, as the students receive their diplomas, it is important that the audience remain silent so that all parents and family members can celebrate their child’s achievement.  Thanks for your support!

 Graduates are to leave all personal items including cell at home or with a family member before checking in.  We cannot guarantee the security of personal items left unattended and graduates will not be allowed to carry personal items to the ceremony.  Once the student checks in they will not be allowed to leave so please make sure you have your tickets before the student checks in.

 Each student receives five tickets for graduation; however, we understand that certain family circumstances may require more tickets.  We cannot guarantee extra tickets to any student, however, if you feel you must request extra tickets please put your request in writing to Mrs. Monaghan.  Requests can be submitted after June 1 but before June 13.
