Post-Grad
Throughout this school year, there has been a committee of senior parents who met to plan Post-Grad. Post-Grad is an event that will take place at the Middle School Commons following the commencement ceremony and will last all night long. The event is filled with food and activities such as: seniors will watch a senior video, play in sports tournaments, watch a hypnotist, and receive great prizes! The Post-Grad committee has been working all year long with numerous fundraisers to raise money for this event. All seniors are encouraged to attend but must pre-register!
Commencement Ceremony
The Commencement Ceremony is on June 1, 2018 at 7:00 pm. Plans are for Commencement to be held outdoors at Bulldog Stadium. In the event of inclement weather, a decision will be made Friday afternoon, June 1, to move the event indoors to the High School gymnasium. There will also be a live stream of the ceremony broadcast over the District website. Please check the Commencement FAQ on the High School website for more details about Commencement.
