Grad 2026 Information and News for Grads and Parents 

We are extremely proud and excited to welcome grads and families to this BIG year.  We look forward to working together in the months ahead to prepare to celebrate Graduation 2026. 

Planning and preparing for graduation is a commitment we ask all grads and families to make.  It takes many hands working together to prepare for a joyful and safe celebration; we strongly encourage you as parents to get involved and help out with grad activities.  We remind our grads that all school code of conduct expectations apply both during school hours and outside of the school day when grads are participating in fundraising and all other school organized grad activities and events. Our community and district hold important expectations and values for our staff, the grads, and their families when planning and engaging in graduation celebrations. Our Staff Grad Committee works throughout the year with the graduating class always reminding them of the importance of conducting ourselves in safe and respectful ways. Our community, school and district are supporting us financially to celebrate safely.  It would be highly inappropriate for there to be any "after grad" celebrations involving alcohol or drugs on our grad weekend.

Grad Council

The Grad Council is made up of students and parents that take on volunteer leadership roles on behalf of the grads and their families to help organize and prepare for graduation in June.  The grad and parent council works with the support of Grad Teacher Sponsor, Ms. Meghan Morrison, and Principal, Ms. Shellie Maloff.  The role of the council members is to help present ideas, gather feedback, make decisions and coordinate various aspects of planning. They work to bring together and include the voices of grads and their families.
