Promotion Practice
We are excited to celebrate our students’ promotion from middle school to high school!
On Thursday, May 28th, 2026, students will be dismissed early at 11:30 AM. It is important that all students attend school that day, as we will be rehearsing for the promotion ceremony. At 11:30 AM, there will be a special clap-out for all 8th-grade students. Families are welcome to participate by lining up along the sidewalk on 31st Street, near the entrance of Heritage Middle School (heading toward Grove Avenue).

Promotion gowns, 4 promotion tickets and a printed copy of the ceremony details will be sent home with students on Tuesday, May 26th. Students will be receiving it at school during periods 8 and 9.

If a student has extra tickets, they may return them to the school office, as some families have requested additional tickets. No additional tickets will be available unless tickets are turned in for redistribution.

Attendees are asked to stay in their seats until all graduates and staff have exited the auditorium at the end of the ceremony.
After the ceremony, students will go out Door 24 and meet their families by the clock.
There is another ceremony after Heritage, so Morton will be asking families to leave Morton West campus directly after the ceremony to ensure a smooth transition for the next ceremony
