Graduation Info

Although we all want to celebrate, we also have to remember to stay safe and follow the rules.

• Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. at the student entrance.

• All seniors must report to the Vibrant Arena Conference Room by 6:45 p.m. for check-in.

• Bring NOTHING with you to the ceremony, as there is nowhere to store things, and you will not be able to return to the conference rooms.

• Wear your cap and gown to the ceremony. No decorations are allowed except for golden tassels and departmental honors medals.

• After the ceremony, graduates will be ushered through back hallways to retrieve their diplomas.

• Graduates may then meet up with family at the northwest corner or front of the arena.

AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, METRO IS STILL HERE FOR YOU!
