Greetings, Highland CUSD No. 5 Students, Teachers, and Families,

We are excited to celebrate the graduation of the Class of 2026 on Friday, May 15, at 7:30 PM at the HHS stadium.

Our hope is that the weather will cooperate on Friday night, but if necessary, the ceremony will move to the HHS gym at 7:30 PM. We will move indoors only if severe weather occurs, and official changes will be shared via email, text, and social media with stakeholders as soon as possible. Again, we intend to remain outdoors for the event if at all possible.

For those unable to attend graduation in person, Friday's ceremony will be live-streamed at the following link: https://youtube.com/live/_-TgFQoy_0M?feature=share.

Stadium gates will open at 5:30 PM, and the ceremony will begin promptly at 7:30 PM. We ask all attendees to follow the signs and instructions for the ceremony. Handicap seating will be provided wherever possible in the track area and other locations, but it is limited.

There will be a drop-off line at the front of the stadium for entry, and a golf cart will be available to transport those who need assistance getting to the stadium, including those unable to park close enough or in the handicap spots.

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and understanding during this capstone event for our seniors. We will do our best to accommodate all who attend, as we expect a capacity crowd. It's going to be an amazing night of celebration.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday night at 7:30 PM to celebrate the Class of 2026!
