CAHS-PL Grad Night
Thank you to all of you who filled out the Survey at the beginning of the school year regarding our Grad Night options. While the results were somewhat varied, the majority of students preferred Disneyland, with many students requesting that we go the same day and location as Studio.
We have been waiting to hear back from Grad Night venues to ensure that we have spots available. We have just received word from Disneyland that PLC has received our requested spots for this year!
We have decided to partner more closely with Studio this year to make things less complicated. There is only one sign up link for both campuses. Please see the link below to sign up. Spots are limited, but the link is open now! We will be sending out more information in regards to the actual day-of details as we get closer. For now, the most important thing is that you are aware that PLC is definitely going to Disneyland for Grad Night in 2024 and PLC and Studio seniors can use the same link to sign up.
In other good news, due to some fundraising donations, we have been able to get the total cost down for all Seniors!
