Good Afternoon Students, Parents, and Community Members:

This week’s HIGH 5 CLUB Senior of the Week-NOAH MARCHESSEAULT

Arbor Day: Each year, our Arbor Dept hosts Arbor Day, where they plant, trim, and trim trees on our campus.

Attention Class of 2023:

Dear Students and Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2023,

Graduation is rapidly approaching and we are making final preparations for this memorable event, which is set for Thursday, June 1st at 6:30 pm. The event will take place on our baseball field. If weather impacts an evening ceremony, then we will have a rain date on Friday, June 2nd. Graduates will be given 4 tickets. The tickets will give you access to the seating on the field. If you have more than four guests, they will be able to stand/sit along the fence (see graphic below), and they can bring their own seat if they prefer. We will provide the tickets at the mandatory graduation rehearsals on Tuesday, May 30th and Wednesday, May 31st at 8:30 am. Please see the sketches below that layout graduation guidelines and click here for the parking plan.

To help prepare for graduation, we wanted to provide families with as much information regarding logistics as possible. Students are NOT allowed to decorate their caps for graduation. Handicap and elderly seating will be available (limited quantity) on the field facing the graduates (please click here to complete the elderly/handicap seating accommodations request). We will be providing transportation from the parking lot to the seating area on the field. Parents will be facing the graduates (overlooking the farm) on the field, and graduates will be facing home plate.

Graduation rehearsal is mandatory. If you do not participate in the graduation rehearsal you will not be able to walk at graduation. We are using this date to help distribute 4 tickets (1 vehicle per family/graduate is highly recommended) to each graduate. Students will be reporting to the high school at 5:00 pm to conduct a mini rehearsal on graduation day.

Parking is limited on the south side of the campus that cannot accommodate all guests, so we are encouraging that graduates and families use the same vehicle to come to the ceremony. There will be handicap parking along the tree line at Gilbert Hall and the student parking lot has approximately 90 spaces (combined). Additional parking will be at the hayfield.
