Fireworks: We are excited to announce that the grand finale of the Class of 2025 Commencement will be a brief fireworks display to celebrate our students' achievements. While we aim to make this a joyous occasion for all attendees, we recognize that some may have sensitivities to loud noises and flashes. The fireworks display will begin during the cap toss, lasting less than a minute. Please plan accordingly.
Inclement Weather Plan: In the event that weather conditions are not suitable for an outdoor ceremony at the scheduled time, graduation will be postponed by 30 minute increments up to no later than a 10 p.m. start. If the weather does not improve Thursday night, graduation will be moved to Friday at 8 p.m. Students and parents/guardians will be notified with as much advance notice as possible in the event of any weather-related changes.
