We look forward to celebrating with you! Here is some helpful information about graduation this year.  

  • The Graduation Ceremony: The ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, June 16th beginning promptly at 10:30 AM. Parents, guardians, and guests may begin entering the stadium starting at 9:30 AM. 
  • Graduation Seating: The Class of 2022 will march onto the field and sit facing the scoreboard. Therefore, both stands - home and visitor - will be available for families. As the graduates process into the stadium, they will be seated alphabetically on either side of the field (approximately A - Le on the “visitor” side and Li - Z on the “home" side).
