Graduation Information

Northview Stadium - Thursday, May 23rd at 8:00 pm

Graduates report at 6:30 pm. We are asking that SENIORS do not drive to the school. To save spaces for parking, we are requesting that parents drop their student off at the Gym entrance no later than 6:30 pm.

Stadium gates will open at 6:30 pm.

Please do not save seats and there will be no coolers allowed in the Stadium.

All guests will be allowed to enter from 6:30 pm until 7:45 pm. Guests will be allowed to enter and sit field level (please bring seats/chairs, a blanket, etc…) on a first come first serve basis. Our hope is to sit all that would like to attend but we will also be showing the ceremony in our auditorium and live streaming through the internet with the link available on our school website. No one will be allowed admittance into the stadium area once the procession begins at 7:45 pm until all Seniors have been seated.

Each Graduate will receive their diploma immediately following the ceremony. Tables will be set up in the cul-de-sac near the Baseball field. If a Graduate decides not to pick up their diploma following the ceremony, diplomas will be available for pick up in the main office during the summer beginning June 1st.

We will have individuals to aid in parking. We also have secured overflow parking in the Church across the street. If anyone needs special parking arrangements for handicapped family members, please notify the school by the end of business on May 15th and we will reserve space in the lower parking area closest to the Stadium entrance.
