Graduation 2026 Smore
Dear Seniors and Families,
Congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone! We are excited to celebrate graduation with you and want to ensure you have all the information needed for a smooth and memorable ceremony.
Graduation Practice is scheduled for Tuesday, June 9th, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the gym. Students who do not come to graduation practice will not walk at graduation. Students should plan to arrive around 12:00 PM, and during this time, you will have the opportunity to pay any outstanding fees and turn in your school laptop and charger. Please note that you must have all school, library, and technology fees paid in full. If you owe fees to elementary or middle schools, those must be paid directly at those sites. You will receive your graduation tickets at the end of practice.
Each graduate will receive 8 tickets total: 6 white tickets for entry into the main gym and 2 orange tickets for overflow seating in the auditorium. The school will not issue extra tickets, so it is up to each graduate to decide how to use their tickets and whether to share with classmates who may need additional tickets.
On Graduation Day, the Senior Tea will take place from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, and all graduates must be present by 9:45 AM. Guest seating doors will open at 9:45 AM and will close promptly at 10:50 AM. Please be aware that there is no entrance to graduation from the Senior Tea—guests attending the tea will need to exit and re-enter through an approved entrance with a ticket to view the ceremony.
All guests must have a ticket to enter the building, and once you enter at the ticket table, there will be no re-entry. There will be three entrances with ticket tables available. All three entrances accept tickets for the main gym, but only the main entrance and the entrance by the barn accept tickets for overflow seating in the auditorium. For the safety and enjoyment of all attendees, please remember that balloons, beach balls, noisemakers, confetti cannons, and similar items are not allowed.
For parking, please follow all directions from parking attendants. Handicapped parking will be available in the gym parking lot and along the front and sides of the school by the sidewalks on a first-come, first-served basis. If you require handicapped parking and must park elsewhere, please wait for a golf cart shuttle to assist you.
The dress code is stated in the graduation contract. The dress clothes worn should reflect the importance and dignity of the occasion.
In addition, only an authorized cap, gown, and tassel will be worn over dress clothes with earned regalia and medals earned. Students who did not receive their cords and medals at the awards ceremony will receive them at graduation practice. Students will not add any other accessories, decoration, or carry any placards, posters or any other paraphernalia that might detract from the ceremony.
We are so proud of the Class of 2026 and look forward to celebrating this special day with you and your families. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the school office at (910) 455-4888.
Congratulations again, and we'll see you at graduation!
