The 128th Annual Commencement Ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2026, at the Harding Mazzotti Arena Arena starting at 7 p.m.
Graduates:
Mandatory graduation rehearsal will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the arena
Students are encouraged to arrive between 6 and 6:15 p.m. to prepare. Families may begin entering the arena at 6 p.m.
Commencement Seating and Parking:
Parking at the Harding Mazzotti Arena can be tough. Please plan accordingly.
Students are welcome to take pictures down on the arena floor until you are called to your lineup station (no guests on the arena floor at any time).
There is no limit on the number of guests.
For those guests with limited mobility, there is space available around the top of the arena and seating is also available for those who can’t navigate ANY stairs.
For those whose limitations allow for navigating a stair or two, we will ask all guests who have family with full mobility to NOT sit in the top row of seats.
End of Commencement & Reconnecting with your Senior
Once graduation is done, we will have students participate in a recessional that we developed and have come to love a few years back. The recessional moves students to the floor level exit from the building where they can then meet parents and families outside for post-graduation pictures. As the recessional begins, guests are welcome to exit the arena to reconnect with their graduates.
We would recommend that families identify an outdoor meeting location prior to graduation as we have about 200 graduates and likely about 1,000 guests and staff who will be exiting the building all at about the same time.
Our 2026 Commencement Ceremony will be livestreamed via YouTube again this year.
