Commencement Information
The caps and gowns have arrived and our PTO has graciously purchased a yard sign for each graduate; I wanted to reach out with some brief but focused information around Graduation as we get closer (please note that all of this information also appears in the Guide to Graduation that was mailed home in February).
TICKETS
Doors will open at 6:00 PM. Each graduate will receive eight (8) tickets. We will distribute graduation tickets at the end of graduation rehearsal on Monday, May 20. If you would like additional tickets, please have your graduate find a classmate who will not need all eight of his/her tickets and get the additional tickets directly from the classmate. At graduation rehearsal, we will also ask students to return any extra tickets, which we will redistribute on a first-come/first-serve basis; however we cannot guarantee any availability (the best solution is to find a classmate who will not need all eight of his/her tickets).
ARRIVAL
All graduates should report to the lower level of the Activity Center no later than 6:30 PM. Graduation begins promptly at 7:30 PM.
HANDICAPPED SEATING
We will have handicapped seating available upon request. Please contact Mrs. Frey at (513) 728-8425 for specific details. Please call no later than Monday, May 6th to allow for adequate reserved seating on the night of graduation.
CAP & GOWN/YARD SIGNS
Caps & gowns and yard signs have arrived! Distribution began on Tuesday, April 30. Caps & gowns were delivered to Diamond and Scarlet Oaks as well; WHHHS campus students may pick up their caps & gowns in Mrs. Frey’s office. Additionally, Class of 2024 yard signs (courtesy of our PTO) may be picked up between 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM in the main office. We are asking each student to pick up his/her yard sign to ensure that all graduates receive their yard sign.
SCHOOL FEES
All outstanding fees must be paid in full and the student’s laptop must be returned in order to receive a diploma; directions for how to log on and pay student fees can be found here.
PARKING – NEW INFORMATION NOT FOUND IN THE GUIDE TO GRADUATION
Please see below to view the campus parking map to help illustrate the parking arrangements for Graduation. The west lot of the Activity Center will be strictly handicapped parking – a valid handicapped placard will be required to enter this lot. We will also run a shuttle bus from the parking lots at Harrison Junior School and Miami Whitewater Elementary. Please see the attached map for shuttle stops. The shuttle will run from 5:45 PM – 7:30 PM and then again from 9:00 PM until everyone has returned to their vehicles. Members of the Harrison Police Department will help direct traffic before and after the ceremony as well to facilitate getting everyone on and off campus.
