IMPORTANT CHANGE IN TIME AND DRESS CODE!
Due to the predicted excessive heat, the 2025 Egg Harbor Township Graduation Ceremony on Tuesday June 24, 2025 has been moved to 7:10pm
Because of the high temperatures, we are making a one-time adjustment to the male graduate dress code for this year’s ceremony only. If preferred for comfort, male graduates may wear a dark-colored polo shirt, dress shorts and flip-flops or “Hey Dude”-style shoes. Please note, sneakers are not permitted.
All graduates must report to the Swift-Slaybaugh Complex by 5:15 p.m. for transportation to the high school. Please do not drop students off directly at the high school. Spectator buses will also begin running at 5:15 p.m. from both Miller and Alder Avenue Schools.
We continue to take all necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of our students during both rehearsal and the ceremony. Water and Gatorade will be provided to the graduates throughout the evening.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we adapt to the weather. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to celebrating this incredible milestone with you tomorrow at 7:10 p.m. in the stadium!
