Dear Families of Graduating Seniors,

In an effort to provide the safest and best experience for our Class of 2026 graduates and families, we are making adjustments to the graduation ceremony schedule. This decision comes after closely monitoring the weather forecast for Saturday’s graduation ceremonies and the possibility of thunderstorms in the late morning into the early afternoon.

Updated Graduation Times for Saturday, June 6, 2026:

R.A. Long High School: Gates open at 7:30 a.m., Ceremony starts at 9 a.m.

Mark Morris High School: Gates open at 5 p.m., Ceremony starts at 6 p.m.

Location: Memorial Stadium (unchanged)

We understand that schedule changes can be inconvenient, and we appreciate your flexibility and understanding. We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of our graduates. Thank you for your support as we work to ensure a memorable and safe ceremony for everyone.
