Graduation
It is hard to believe that graduation time is almost here! Commencement for the Class of 2021 will be held at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday, May 27, 2021, at the Fredericksburg Nationals Ballpark, 42 Jackie Robinson Way. The James Monroe High School faculty and staff look forward to watching another group of deserving young men and women cross into the next phase of their life. Our goal is to make our commencement exercises meaningful and memorable for all involved. Each graduate will be given four (4) tickets for admission to the graduation ceremony. Seats will be grouped in either a group of four or a group of two to accommodate families and practice social distancing. Face masks must be worn at all times while in the stadium. In the event of rain or the threat of severe weather the venue for the graduation ceremony will be James Monroe High School. Graduation will be held in the gymnasium and one (1) guest will be allowed for each graduate. One (1) additional guest will be allowed to view the ceremony by a live stream in the auditorium. The decision to move the venue will be made by 10:00 AM on May 27, 2021. Admission to graduation will be with a ticket only and this includes small children. Due to the size of our graduating class, no additional requests for tickets will be honored. You can access Dr. Duffy’s letter to seniors here.
