After carefully monitoring the weather forecast for this Sunday, the school district has made the decision to move our upcoming graduation ceremony indoors to the Elementary Gym.
Seating Capacity & Class Size This year, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a large graduating class of 141 students. To ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, it is important to note that when graduation was last held indoors, the gym was nearly at capacity with only 117 graduates. With an additional 24 graduates this year, space will be exceptionally limited.
To maximize seating capacity for families, the district has made the difficult decision not to have the school band perform live during the ceremony. While our student musicians always look forward to this event, we have prioritized providing more floor space for guest seating. We will instead utilize a music track for the processional and ceremony.
Making Your Attendance Decision To ensure a comfortable and safe environment for our graduates' immediate families, we ask community members to carefully consider their attendance options, whether in-person or live-stream:
Attending In-Person May Be Best If:
You are a parent, guardian, or immediate family member.
You have traveled a significant distance to attend.
Your graduate has specifically requested your presence.
Watching Online May Be Preferable If:
You are an extended family member or friend.
You would prefer to avoid a crowded venue and limited parking.
You want to share the experience with your entire family from home.
High-Quality Live Streaming Option We are pleased to offer a live stream of the entire ceremony, accessible at https://bit.ly/3R5xbWe. For those who cannot watch live, a recording of the ceremony will remain available for 30 days.
Our goal is to ensure this milestone is special for every graduate and their loved ones, whether you are with us in the gym or participating virtually. If you require specific accessibility accommodations, please contact the school office in advance so we can assist you.
Thank you for your understanding and support of the Class of 2026.
