A few important notes as you make your plans:
Doors will be locked at 10:50 AM and will remain closed during the graduate procession. They will reopen at approximately 11:15 AM. Please arrive early to make sure you do not miss the start of the ceremony.
Also, please leave noise makers, air horns, balloons, and similar items at home. We want every family to clearly hear their graduate's name called.
See you Saturday. Go Wildcats!
