HS Graduation dates and locations

Wondering if other schools are also having to travel so far and if they are happy with locations. And curious if anyone has experienced a graduation at UMBC and what they thought of it.

Several people on the BCC listserv said they were happy about it. It was the only option that allowed for 6 tickets instead of 3. A graduating senior with 2 parents and 2 siblings couldn’t have their whole immediate family attend at the other locations that were offered.

As a HS staff member I'm annoyed that I have to make the drive back so late in the day. I preferred when it was at the school.

I think it is more meaningful at the school. It should be in the football stadium.

Gaithersburg is at UMBC, also on June 12th, starting at 2pm.

Just keep it in backyard at the HS. No need then to rent buses to take the whole band and others!

And do not come back here and complain when it rains or is 98 degrees.

Will the umbc location be it for the next 10 years or do they make the decision on location on a yearly basis?

Instead of renting buses to transport students and others to Catonsville/Baltimore, rent LOTS of tents!
