Graduation
Saturday, June 7, 2025 at 11:00 a.m.
Seniors will receive their flowers and boutonnieres before sitting for their class picture, so prompt arrival by 10:00 is imperative. A livestream of the ceremony will be made available via our Facebook and YouTube Pages. As it is an outdoor, tented event, there is potential that unsuitable weather (thunder) could postpone the ceremony by several minutes to several hours, as necessary. We understand the impact this can have on your plans for the day, so thank you for your patience should we need to navigate the weather together. Should the weather make an outdoor ceremony impossible, the event would be held in the Field House, with limited seating capacity.
