2023 Graduation Ceremony Moved Indoors

Our graduation ceremonies this evening will be moved indoors to our auditorium due to the wildfires from Canada and the air quality in our surrounding area being moved up to unhealthy.

We have made this decision after consulting with local and national weather organizations. The EPA has now our surrounding area in the “unhealthy” category for air quality. According to the information provided to us, in this category, individuals should move activities indoors or reduce prolonged outdoor activities.

We will be live streaming the ceremony via YouTube so that those who choose to remain at home can do so and view the ceremony there. There will be overflow seating as well in our old auditorium for those guests who have a white ticket.

Traffic flow will be one way entering the school grounds from the North 4th Street entrance. All vehicles should enter from the North 4th Street entrance.

We apologize for any convenience and hardship this may cause.
