Call time is 7:15amat the South Florida Fairgrounds in Royal Palm Beach.
There is no bus this year! Students have been asked for weeks to make surethey have rides!
End time is estimated to be 11:00AM, but that is an estimate so please be flexible! There are other events after ours, so we have to pack up and leave in a limited time! Parents, please plan to pickup shortly after the event ends, we cannot be stuck loitering waiting for pick-ups!
Attire is the same as for concerts. Concert dresses for girls. Black pants, shirt, tie, etc. for boys.
Students, we are asked to make sure we are attentive to the ceremony. Students should not be on cellphones, video games, or reading books during the ceremony. Attention should be on the event and its honor to our graduates and their families. The band's area is near the stage up front, and visible to any behavior that could be interpreted as disrespectful. Also please be mindful we are on live broadcast!
