To protect the turf field during an outdoor ceremony, dress shoes or dress sandals, flats or wedges are recommended; no spiked heeled shoes are allowed because of the turf field and the possibility that high-heeled shoes will get caught in the turf carpet. This will be unsafe and will invalidate the warranty on our new turf field (see image for recommended shoe options).

Family members are not allowed on the turf field before or after the ceremony. Please plan to meet your graduate outside of the stadium after the ceremony for congratulations, hugs and photos.

Our commencement ceremony will be live-streamed during our ceremony and then available for viewing after our ceremony. The link for this option will be available on our Eastview web page at http://evhs.district196.org.
