Class of 2026...It's time to Graduate!

For our safety and to provide a quality ceremony, graduation will begin at 7:00pm. Gates will open at 6:00pm. Graduates need to arrive to TMS at 6:00pm. Please take traffic into consideration and arrive early. You may line up to enter the stadium prior to the gates opening. You may want to bring a towel to wipe off bleacher seats. Thank you for your patience and flexibility. We look forward to celebrating the special milestone with you this evening! Go Pirates!

Good Morning Graduates and Families,

We continue to closely monitor the weather for this evening (NOAA). Current models are trending more favorable for a safe and quality graduation ceremony. Below are several scenarios we are considering so you may make informed decisions.

Scenario 1 : On-time start (6:30pm)
Gates will open at 5pm. This is weather dependent. We will only bring in guests and take tickets once we are clear of adverse weather.
Graduates will report to TMS by 5:30pm.

Scenario 2: Delayed start (7pm)
Gates will open at 6pm. This is weather dependent. We will only bring in guests and take tickets once we are clear of adverse weather.
Graduates will report to TMS by 6pm.

Scenario 3: Delayed start (7:30pm)
Gates will open at 6:30pm. This is weather dependent. We will only bring in guests and take tickets once we are clear of adverse weather.
Graduates will report to TMS by 6:30pm

Scenario 4: Postpone graduation to Friday (9am)
Gates will open at 8am.

In each scenario, please take traffic into consideration and arrive early. You may line up to enter the stadium - at your own risk of getting wet - prior to the gates opening. You may want to bring a towel to wipe off bleacher seats. Please see the attached graphic for the location of our handicap shuttle service. We plan to make a decision about our start time and communicate with you by 3:30pm. Again, we appreciate your patience as we work to make this evening a safe and quality celebration! See you soon!
