Seating will be available in the home bleachers, away bleachers, and on the field in a designated area behind the graduates. The field seating will require audience members to bring a blanket or lawn chairs as no chairs will be provided. Not all attendees will fit on the home and away bleachers. If you plan on sitting in the bleachers, please arrive early. Be prepared to sit on the field if you arrive later than 9:30 AM. Entrance into the building is prohibited. The parade will follow the ceremony and the route will be along Rampart Range Rd and E. Kelley's Drive.

In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held inside the building in the Main Gym with SIX spectators per graduate.
In the event of the ceremony being moved indoors, graduates use the SIX tickets for indoor spectators. A decision will be made by 10:00 a.m. the morning of Graduation practice day on indoor or outdoor ceremony. Ceremony time will remain the same. Tickets will be issued at the mandatory graduation practice.
