It's an opportunity for students to celebrate their graduation in a drug and alcohol free venue that typically runs from 10:00 pm to 5:00 am on graduation night. For one ticket price, seniors eat, play games, participate in the ongoing “fun stuff” all night, win prizes and hang out to talk and kick back with their friends.

Buses will return students to FHC parking lot (outside of main gym) around 4:45-5:00 am.  Parents must pick up their graduate since they have been awake all night.

The Senior All Night Party Committee is a group of senior parent volunteers who have fundraised, planned, and organized this party. We will need additional volunteers to help. A sign-up will be posted on the website and on the parent Facebook page in the spring.

How is the party funded?

The SANP Committee hosts several fundraisers throughout the year to offset the full cost of the party above and beyond the ticket sale price. Business sponsors from our community step up and help and we are happy to advertise and spend money at their businesses. Various opportunities for parents to donate to our Amazon wishlist for prizes Is very helpful. We host 200+ graduates all night at a venue with food and entertainment with a budget of $30k which is comparable to parties planned by other schools in the area.
