Those who are attending the ceremony will be asked to bring their own chairs to sit in on the parking lot for the ceremony. Attendees will be able to drive through the front entrance, drop off the graduate, drop off chairs and other guests, and then will need to park their vehicle on the side streets to the south of the school. There will be limited parking available on the parking lot for those who need accommodations. We will open at 6:15 for graduate drop-off and guests. Please do not arrive earlier.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday evening!
