In-Person Graduation will be 
Wednesday, June 2, 2021

Two weather dependent in-person graduation celebrations are being planned! 
  1. First Option, Outdoor: 6:30 p.m. Ceremony in the Stevenson Stadium: All graduates, staff and family members (max 4x tickets per family) may attend. 
  2. Inclement Weather Option Two: 6:30 p.m. Ceremony indoors in the Performing Arts Center for graduates and staff only. Parents will view the celebration via live stream. 
  3. Parents should complete the eighth-grade graduation RSVP and ticket order form on or before Friday, May 14, even if you or your child will NOT be attending the graduation ceremony.

For both venues, a Stuart-Rodgers photographer will take professional photos of our students that can be purchased online after the ceremony. Picture proofs with order forms will be mailed to the student's home.

​Graduation Practice: 
​All students who will be attending in person graduation on the evening of June 2 will need to attend a practice ceremony on the morning of June 2 from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at Stevenson High School. (The location at SHS will be determined closer to the practice date.) District 103 transportation will not be provided and students are responsible for their own transportation.
