Senior Class of 2026 Clap Out

Clap Out 2026 will take place on Tuesday, 6/2 @ 2:00PM at each of our four elementary schools. Seniors are invited to go back for one last visit to their 5th grade, MUSD elementary campus to have their graduation celebrated with a Clap Out from the students and staff from their respective schools. Participating Seniors are being requested to be at the schools by no later than 1:55PM dressed in their gowns and caps.

Once on campus, Seniors should locate either the Principal or Office Manager for the school for further instructions. All participating Seniors and their families are being asked to please follow the direction of the school site with regards to accessing the campus.

Please remember that all of our elementary schools have limited visitor parking and congestion nearing dismissal time & you and your families are being requested to park off campus. Once Clap Out is complete, students and their families are being requested to depart the school to allow for dismissal of students. Please do not plan to visit classrooms or teachers following clap out.

This is a tradition that we would like to continue for future graduates and all Seniors and parents should follow all instruction and guidance from the Principal and Office Manager.

Congratulations to the Alhambra High School Class of 2026!

If you have any questions, please contact Todd Navarro, Alhambra PTSA at toddmpepta@comcast.net
