Graduation Ceremony Dress Code
Graduation Seating/Tickets/Inclement Weather
Outside Ceremony – Cardinal Stadium
We are excited to host this year’s graduation ceremony outdoors at Cardinal Stadium, our football field. Tickets are only required for handicap-accessible seating and designated Cardinal Family seating.
To request handicap-accessible seating, please complete the appropriate form (coming soon). This form must be presented to access these reserved seats.
Guests may begin entering the stadium at 5:30 PM. Please note that entry will not be permitted before this time.
General admission does not require tickets, and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Inclement Weather Plan –Gymnasium, Auditorium and Cafeteria
In the event of inclement weather, the Administration will carefully evaluate conditions to determine whether the graduation ceremony should be moved indoors to the school building. Our top priority is to ensure a safe and memorable experience for all attendees, and any decision to relocate the ceremony will be made with thoughtful consideration.
Once a decision is reached, we will promptly share updates through our official social media channels and NTouch messaging system.
If the ceremony is moved indoors, each graduate will receive six tickets for guest entry. No additional tickets will be issued.
Live Streaming of the Ceremony: Hudl
The graduation ceremony will be livestreamed on YouTube. We will share the viewing link as the event date approaches through our official communication channels.
