[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But who wants "Jiffy Lube Live" on their kid's graduation program?[/quote]

Who actually cares about this? It's a HS graduation. The people chasing prestigious venues for a public school HS graduation are just loonie. I'm with the county, and the vast majority of parents on this. We do not give a F about the name or alleged prestige of venue. HS - particularly public - is about community and family. Give us a venue close by that will allow the max number of attendees to celebrate with their kids. I'd rather not give up a seat at the graduation for my parents just so we can schlep into DC and an aging venue, sit in terrible traffic, fight for parking, be doused in weed along the way, and risk being robbed, car jacked or shot. I'd rather stay close to home.

And GMU is lovely, by the way. You prestige chasers need a slap of reality. This isn't Monaco, it's Fairfax County. Nice try, folks[/quote]

Maybe your child didn’t spend four years in the crappy Mclean facility. Some of us would like a nice graduation venue. [/quote]

DP - what mattered to my McLean HS kids for four years is what would matter most when it comes to a graduation ceremony, namely being with their fellow students and the staff. What makes McLean a great school are the people, not the building(s).  We had no issue getting to DAR and enjoying the ceremony but we would have been thrilled had it been held on the football field as well. [/quote]
