Here are some important reminders and information regarding graduation tomorrow-
1. The stage is at midfield where graduates will be seated and facing the crowd. We have painted the field where public seating is allowed- north of the white dotted line. Also the track, the hill, the stands, and the parking lot are available for seating too. Please bring your own seating unless you plan on sitting in the stands. Seating is first come first serve.
2. The gate to the football field parking lot will be opened at 7 am. Graduation begins at 9 am.
3. There is a chance for rain Saturday morning. If we need to have a rain delay, we will- we will do everything in our power to get graduation completed on Saturday. Unless the forecast is for unending rain on Sat, we will get it done.
4. We would like to remind everyone that the wearing of face masks and the practice of social distancing at least 6feet is strongly recommended at this time.
5. After the graduation ceremony is completed, we will not have a reception line. We ask everyone to please exit the stadium and meet your graduate at your family car or at home.
Thank you for being a part of honoring our graduates on Saturday.

Due to several factors, we have changed the setup at the football field for graduation and promotion on Saturday, July 11.
The stage will be mid field, with the seniors seated to the sides of the stage on the field and will be facing the north (home stands). Spectators have the following options for seating- the field, the track, the home stands, the hill, and for those who may have a difficult time walking down/health issues, the front row of parking above the stadium. It is first come, first serve for seating. If you choose to sit on the field, you will need to bring your own seating.
Thank you all for observing the 6ft. social distancing and all other precautions wherever you choose to sit. We also encourage all to wear masks.
