Frequently Asked Questions

Grad Night is an all-night event created to promote a safe, supervised, alcohol—and drug-free evening for graduating seniors. Through fundraising, sponsorships, donations and the work of parent volunteers, Grad Night provides a place to celebrate the students' achievements and enjoy a fun event with their friends and classmates while keeping them safe.

It will be held on Thursday, June 4, 2026, through early morning Friday, June 5. After the graduation ceremony concludes, the students will have a limited amount of time to take photos with family and friends before changing out of their robes and into casual clothes. They will then check in at the Grad Night station on campus, board the buses, and OFF THEY GO!!!

Absolutely! Year after year, students who attend Grad Night rave about how much fun it was and this year promises to deliver more of the same! For the past few years, most seniors have attended. The goal every year is 100% participation.

It is kept secret for two reasons: One is to keep the students guessing about the location, which adds to the adventure, and the other is to ensure that there is no contraband or gate crashing. Only a few parents will know the site. Committee members and volunteers will be informed on a need-to-know basis. Close to the event day, waivers will be sent for parents to sign and the location will be disclosed then.

No, the admission price includes everything for every person for the entire night!

The PTSA raises funds for Grad Night because the initial discounted price is lower than the per-student cost, and the PTSA provides scholarships for those who would find the admission price a hardship. Please consider donating directly to this important event.

Donations can be made here. 

Discounted tickets are available through the Grad Night Committee. You can request a full or partial discount by emailing gnp@ptsahomestead.org. There will be verification with the school before discounted tickets are issued.
