You will receive an invitation from the counseling office if you are to attend this event.

All seniors must be cleared by the bookstore prior to 2:30 PM on Friday, May 16th.  Failure to settle any and all debts will result in the student's diploma being held until such debts are satisfied.  The bookstore will be open from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM (closed 12:30 PM -1:00 PM) to handle checkout. 

• The commencement ceremony will take place in the Coyote stadium. 
• The stage will be set up on the north end of the football field.  Graduates will remain standing until all graduates have entered the stadium.
• Several speakers will address the graduates and the audience.  Graduates will then be called up alphabetically to receive their diploma. 
• Students will return to their seats and remain standing until everyone in their row returns.  At the conclusion of the ceremony, family and guests will be invited onto the field to greet graduates and take pictures.

Graduates must be in the large gym no later than 6:15 PM  Due to the amount of time it takes to line up and prepare students for the procession, it is possible they will not be able to walk if they are not in the gym by 6:15 PM Please have your student here on time!
