Preparations for senior Grad Night have begun and are being led by the Graduation Committee, led by senior parent members Shaugna Green and Alicia de Fuentes.
Grad Night will take place June 6 after the graduation ceremony from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., with tickets currently priced at $250. The event will be monitored by school staff members and administrators. Activities will be held across campus and will include live entertainment, music, minigames and more.
COVID protocol, according to the LGSUHSD guidelines, will be mandated for the event. Any students exhibiting symptoms of sickness will be barred from attending the event.
The schedule for the party is as follows: students will check in at the quad at 10 p.m. and a video displaying seniors’ fondest memories of high school will be played at 4 a.m. In between, at 2 a.m., the Graduation Committee has planned a surprise event, which will be revealed at the party. At 5 a.m., the graduates will welcome the sunrise with breakfast and by 6 a.m., they will have made their final farewells to many of their classmates.
Grad Night will be the last high school-sponsored celebration that will gather most of the Class of `24. Because of this, De Fuentes said the parent organizers feel a deep responsibility to design an experience that appropriately rewards the graduating class’ hard work for the past four years.
She mentioned the Graduation Committee is especially devoted to throwing a spectacular party since the graduating senior class was unable to partake in many festivities for their middle school graduation due to COVID-19.
“The hope is that this graduation party is mentioned in the chapter of ‘Best memories are made by celebrating with friends!’ of our kids’ lives,” De Fuentes said.
