[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which schools hold their ceremony at UMD College Park[/quote]

Blair and WJ[/quote]

WJ was at UMBC 2024 and College Park 2025. Hoping for College Park for my 2026 senior![/quote]

Why the change for WJ?

Blair was outside on their own high school fields in 2023. They moved it indoors in 2024? Those two high schools have largest student population, over 3k.

Can other MCP HS request UMD College Park or DAR (accommodate smaller schools)?[/quote]

The BOE document linked above explained:

[i]This is a request to approve a new contract with Xfinity Center for graduation ceremonies for the following schools: Montgomery Blair and Walter Johnson high schools. These two high schools have the largest graduating classes in the district. Walter Johnson has 706 seniors, and Montgomery Blair has 677 seniors. Xfinity was chosen to accommodate the number of guests similar to what is offered for smaller high schools. The costs of security and building services is significant and MCPS was provided a one-time discounted price of $154,834 to use the facility for one day for the two ceremonies. Any future use of the venue has been estimated at $180,000 per day.[/i][/quote]
