We HIGHLY recommend that senior students be dropped off and picked up.  In the past, parents have carpooled to make drop off and pick up more efficient.  Students are usually very tired at the end of a long graduation day and Grad Nite.  Driving home from the event is not recommended.

The fun starts at 10:00 pm and continues until 3:00 am.  Parents have worked very hard to ensure there is plenty of entertainment for everyone.  We don't want to give away all the surprises, but there will be plenty to keep you going! DJ, game truck, movie room/calming room If you need to powernap, jumpys, nightswimming, games, prizes, casino tables, photobooth, dancing, laughing, and...come join! You won't regret It! 

Grad Nite is important because it provides graduating seniors with a safe, fun, and memorable way to celebrate their accomplishments and transition into the next chapter of their lives. It fosters a sense of community and allows students to create lasting memories with their classmates before they go their separate ways. Additionally, Grad Nite events often offer a drug and alcohol-free environment, promoting responsible choices during this significant milestone. Grad Nite events, especially those organized by schools or parent groups like us, prioritize safety by providing a supervised, alcohol-free, and drug-free environment. This allows students to celebrate without the pressure or risks associated with other forms of celebration.

Parent volunteers will be supervising students inside and outside the school property.  Parent Security Volunteers will be patrolling the school and parking lot to ensure their safety when coming and going.

 There is a medical first aid area if they feel ill.  If a student needs to go home, their parents are called and only THEIR PARENTS MAY PICK THEM UP even if they are 18.  There is an area for those that need a power nap.  Students can rest in chairs and/or bean bags and watch a movie or sleep.
