Thank you for your interest in a lawn sign.  Information about the lawn signs will be coming soon.

Graduation rehearsal is mandatory. The date and time will be announced in the spring.

Backpacks, large totes, and briefcases are not permitted.

Small purses, clutches, and clear bags are strongly encouraged and are subject to search.

The concession stand will be open during the graduation ceremony. 

The graduation date will be announced in April. 

• Most of the handicapped parking will be in the south lot, accessible through driveway #1 on Hillside Road.
• There is a smaller handicapped lot directly off the Post Road as well. There is no drop off or pick up allowed in this lot or on the Post Road.
• Only cars with handicapped permits will be allowed to park in these areas.  
• There will be a golf cart shuttle service from the South Lot to the field; some walking will be required to the seats.
  • If you do not have a handicapped permit but would like to drop someone off in the South Lot (driveway #1) to access the shuttle service, you may.  
• Once at the field, there will be handicapped seating available on the track.  To accommodate everyone, we ask that only one companion accompany the person. For example, if you are a group of six - the person who requires handicapped seating plus one companion will be able to sit on the track.  The other four people in the group will be asked to sit on the bleachers.
• There is also handicapped seating on the home side bleachers.
• At the end of the ceremony -
  • There will be designated pick up areas on the home and visitor sides.
  • We ask for your patience as it will take some time for the golf cart shuttle to get everyone back to their cars at the same time everyone else is leaving the stadium. 

INDOOR GRADUATION - General Information 

In the event of inclement weather, graduation will be moved indoors to the Performing Arts Center (PAC).  An announcement will be made by 12:00 pm via email. It will also be posted on the GHS website. 

INDOOR GRADUATION - Tickets

Each family will receive two tickets for the indoor graduation ceremony. The remaining seats in the PAC will be allocated through a random lottery. Each family will be entered in the lottery to potentially receive one extra ticket for a total of three tickets.

Electronic tickets will be sent to the students school email.

• All guest tickets are general admission.
• Admission to the ceremony is by valid electronic ticket only.  Each ticket has a unique bar code, therefore duplicate tickets will not be be granted entry.
• Each guest, no matter the age, needs a ticket for entry.
• Due to space limitations, additional tickets are not available.

The ceremony is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes but plan to be there longer for pictures, goodbyes, etc.

The graduation will be live streamed so family and friends can watch.  Come back to this page the day of graduation to access the link.  It will be at the top of this page. 

• Parking is limited and is available on the premises and along Hillside Road. 
• Additional parking is also available at Central Middle School where shuttle buses will provide transportation to and from GHS. They will begin one hour prior to the ceremony. The last shuttle will be 45 minutes after the ceremony ends.
• If you are considering using a ride share service for drop off and pick up, that should be done at Central Middle School and then take the shuttle to GHS.  Hillside becomes one way after the ceremony so no taxi, Uber, Lyft drivers, etc. will not be allowed to drive down Hillside for pick up.
