Congratulations to the Class of 2024 and to our parents, family, and friends. We know you are extremely proud of your senior.
Graduation ceremonies are here and we would like to share more specific information on what you can expect.
Tickets & Entrance
All guests are required to have a ticket to enter the graduation. This also includes young children.
Gates open at 5:30 p.m.
There will be one main entrance for guests at the home side ticket booth entrance. Guests are free to sit on the home side.
Ceremony Etiquette
Please silence cell phones and other electronic devices.
As the senior’s name is called, the senior will walk across the stage and accept the diploma cover from the Principal. Then walk down the steps and return to the seat designated by the marshal. Refrain from cheering, clapping and yelling the student’s name, etc. during the presentation of diplomas. The audience will be given an opportunity to applaud once the last name has been called. Each senior and their respective family members deserve the right to clearly hear the student’s name as it is called.
Live Stream
A live-stream of each graduation will be available online.
The live-stream is also available to anyone anywhere using this link:
LHS Live Stream
First Aid Stations
First Aid Stations will be available. Notify any member of our event staff for assistance.
After the Ceremony
The football field and surrounding grounds will be the perfect place for families to gather and take pictures following their student’s graduation ceremony.
After the commencement, after graduates are confirmed and the ceremonial cap toss is complete, parents will be invited to the field for pictures with family members. Please be careful walking down the steps of the stadium.
