[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is the Whitman graduation? Is it outside? [/quote]

I thought MCPS had graduations at DAR Constitution Hall. I didn’t think they ever were outside for high school. [/quote]

MCPS used to have graduations at DAR Constitution Hall, the Xfinity Center, and Mount St. Mary's University. Then came covid. Now some high schools have graduation in their stadiums.[/quote]

Every school gets to choose. Some do still us Constitution Hall.

Honestly, [b]it's ridiculous that MoCo doesn't have a facility that is large enough to host graduations in the county[/b]. The options are:

1) On campus at school (parking is a nightmare and weather can make this untenable)
2) Constitution Hall (Super far and parking is also a nightmare)
3) UMBC (Parking is good but also far)

Xfinity Center is apparently out of the price range of most MCPS schools now too.[/quote]

What would it be used for, the other 50 weeks of the year?

I certainly don't want to schlep down to DAR Constitution Hall, but most able-bodied people can avoid the parking nightmare by taking Metro. [/quote]

What about the stadium at the soccerplex in Germantown? Has that ever been considered for graduations?[/quote]

I was wondering about this as well. MoCo made such a big deal about investing in building that out so you'd think it could be used for mass events like this.[/quote]
