[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This just in - unsure if this means JMHS will still have graduation at DAR next year

The Fairfax County School Board on May 11 unanimously approved a $500,000-per-year, sole-source contract with Monumental Sports & Entertainment to rent EagleBank Arena at George Mason University’s Fairfax campus for graduation ceremonies. The contract will run for five years and have a total value of $2.5 million[/quote]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 My kid will graduate from JMHS next year and I’m praying for GMU! So much more convenient for my whole family! [/quote]

Don't count on it.

I totally agree that GMU is more convenient and makes more sense.  But, you should accept that it will likely be at DAR... and it's not as hard to get there as I expected.  It was a lovely venue for the ceremony.  It was frustrating and difficult getting out of the garage.  But, really, going to DAR (as out of the way as it is), worked out.  Don't make it more dramatic than it has to be.  This whole thread is silly.  For those going to GMU -- yay!-- enjoy.  For those going to DAR --- yay! --- enjoy.

Either option will work out.  [/quote]

And the easiest option for DAR is simply parking at your school or at Tysons and taking an Uber there and back.  This really is a stupid thread.[/quote]
Marshall offers ride for friends/family on shuttle buses.  School buses, so not fancy, but it takes you from the school to the venue and back again.[/quote]

I think all the schools offer this, which is great.  We used Uber because the school buses aren't air conditioned and we had elderly grandparents, but a lot of families rode the school buses.  Easy and free.[/quote]
