We are excited to celebrate the Jackson County High School Class of 2025 at Graduation on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Akins Ford Arena in Athens, Georgia!
Graduates should arrive at 7:30 AM. Doors will open to spectators at 8:30 AM. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone, all attendees must go through a security screening and follow the arena’s clear bag policy.
If you are inviting guests, please be sure to share this information with them and refer to the Class of 2025 Senior Information Website for additional details on guest etiquette.
PLEASE NOTE: Items such as balloons, beach balls, large signs or “fat heads,” cowbells, air horns, and other noisemakers will not be permitted through security. Anyone attempting to bring these items will be asked to return them to their vehicle or dispose of them before entering the arena.
We look forward to honoring our graduates and celebrating this special milestone together.
