LTHS GRADUATION May 22nd @ 3:30PM

We are excited for our big day, Trail Blazers! Don't forget your tickets for admission to the commencement!

Students may begin arriving at the Ford Center at 2:30PM on May 22nd. They are welcome to drive themselves or you may drop them off. This is the preferred traffic pattern for the day, in hopes that you will not get stuck in a dead end.
Here is a map of where you can park.
Students will enter the facility on the north side and walk down several flights of stairs (by a loading dock).
Parents should enter through Tostito Plaza (unless they need the ADA entrance for a family member).
The usual bag policy for the facility will be in place. In addition, families will not be able to bring flowers, signs, bullhorns, and tripods for cameras into graduation.
Refer to the district website for all details/FAQs.
Students will process into the ceremony, but will not be in alphabetical order. We will remind students to text their families to ensure no one is caught off-guard when their name is called.
Following the ceremony, students will pick up their diploma and be released to Tostito Plaza to meet you.

Senior Cap and Gown Expectations: Seniors - you may not decorate the top of your caps. No outside regalia should be worn besides the traditional academic cap & tassel, gown, and honor stoles.
