Video
We work with a 3rd party vendor to live-stream Graduation on the day of the event. We also have a recorded copy of Graduation available the day after graduation on the Senior Page.

Weather
If it rains, we get wet. Please come prepared with an umbrella. If there is lightning, there will likely be a delay, but not a cancellation.
