FHS Graduation 2021
May 26, 2021
Graduation Update 5/26/21
With the recent update to COVID guidelines regarding the number of individuals who may gather for an outdoor event, we are pleased to announce that the Flushing High School Class of 2021 will now be able to graduate all together in one graduation ceremony.
Graduation is still scheduled for Thursday, June 3rd, at Raider Field. The new start time is 6:30 p.m. If there is inclement weather on June 3rd, a formal decision will be made at 2:00 p.m. as to whether the ceremony will still occur that evening. The rain date for graduation is Friday, June 4th, also at 6:30 p.m.
Students will now receive one additional ticket each, bringing the total to five tickets per graduate. Graduating students do not need a ticket for the ceremony. Graduation tickets will be distributed with caps and gowns on Tuesday, June 1st.
On graduation day, students should plan to arrive at 5:45 p.m. and meet in the area behind the visitors’ bleachers. Gates will be open at 5:45 p.m. for students and guests.
We have secured a company to live stream and record graduation so family members who cannot be in attendance can still view the ceremony.
Immediately following the ceremony, students will be able to return their gown and receive their actual diploma, final transcript, and copies of the graduation program at the tent behind the home bleachers.

Graduation rehearsal will occur at noon on Wednesday, June 2nd, at Raider Field. If there is inclement weather during the scheduled time of rehearsal, rehearsal will be changed to Thursday, June 3rd, at noon.
Students may dress casually for rehearsal. Caps and gowns should not be worn to rehearsal.
Students must participate in rehearsal if they plan on participating in graduation.
Please adjust work schedules or any other possible conflicts to make sure students will be in attendance at rehearsal.
