Graduation will be held outside on the football field, weather permitting.  In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the south gym.  Graduates should plan to arrive between 9:00 a.m. and 9:15 a.m.  Lines will begin forming in the north gym at 9:30 a.m.  Graduates may keep the tassel, the cap and the gown.

Parking is limited.  Thus, car-pooling or any other efforts to reduce the strain on the school parking lots will be a tremendous help.  We need to respect the property of our neighbors, so please do not park on the streets of the subdivisions near the school.  Both the upper and lower lots will be available for parking.  As happened during last fall's football games, attendants may direct overflow parking to the PE fields immediately north of the school.  Do not park along the exit drives, in fire lanes, or in other “no parking” areas.  Police officers will be present for the proper traffic control.  During the ceremony, the upper lot will be separated from the lower lot by gates.  The lower lot is to exit east onto Pleasant Hill Road to avoid the Saturday afternoon traffic on Walkup.  The upper lot will exit directly onto Walkup.  After the lower lot has emptied, the gates will be removed, and any remaining cars in the upper lot will be able to use the Pleasant Hill exit.  Should you or a guest require special parking and/or seating, please contact Margaret Kopera in the Principal's office at 479-0404, ext. 200.
