Update: Note from Principal Skinner
I wanted to share some important information about graduation. There has been some confusion about attendance. Only individuals with tickets can sit in the field seating or VIP section, but everyone is welcome to come and celebrate the amazing class of 2024. We have plenty of stadium seating for everyone.
This year, we’ve adjusted the setup. I’ve attached a picture of the graduation layout (click here) as well as a map of the secondary complex to help explain. All gates will be open, so you can park anywhere around the stadium, including the visitors’ side parking lot. We’ll have buses and buggies to transport you to the stadium. If you need a ride, please wait for one to come by your area.
If you need special assistance, you can call the campus ahead of time, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. The graduates will be facing the home stands this year, with the back of the stage facing the visitors’ side, so please sit on the home side of the stadium. Student-aged kids will not be allowed to bring bags into the stadium.
I hope this helps, and we hope to see you there.
Respectfully,
Chris Skinner
