Graduation is an important event for all students and families. In order to make sure that we can honor each person's accomplishments, we ask students, parents, and guests to express joy and excitement in a way that does not detract from others' celebration. The following items are strictly prohibited: air horns, cowbells, noise makers, Silly String, confetti, balloons, posters, signage, and beach balls. Fair ushers may confiscate any prohibited items.

Lifetouch Photography (GATES and WHS)  and Premium Pix (FPHS) will be taking pictures of each senior as they receive diplomas. Families who wish to purchase pictures may do so online after the event. Additional event photos from Tash and Ike Photography will be available on this website by June 12.

Creative 24 will create graduation highlight videos  for each ceremony. These videos will be available on this website by June 12.
