A note regarding Graduation tickets:

As always, seniors will receive their tickets when they receive their Caps & Gowns, the Friday before Graduation week. This will take place on June 5th.

Each senior will receive 8 bleacher and 7 floor tickets (a total of 15 tickets each). In the event additional tickets are able be released for any reason, every effort will be made to ensure they are distributed equally among the graduating students.

All tickets are given directly to the graduating seniors. The choice of who to share their tickets with is entirely theirs.

Any unneeded tickets should be returned to Dianna Dority, Graduation Coordinator, ASAP. She will help reallocate any returned tickets to students seeking additional tickets.

Tickets are required for entry, and must be presented at the door.
