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

We'll be fine. Larlo and his family will all be fine.

Schools vote. This is my third MCPS grad, same school, three different locations: DAR, School Football Field, UMBC

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

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.

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.
