Board moves Emmett high school graduation to May 22; seniors' last day set for May 19
Summary
Trustees approved a calendar change that moves graduation to 10 a.m. on May 22, with seniors' final school day on May 19; administrators said the change meets required instructional hours for graduates.
Emmett Independent District trustees approved a calendar adjustment that moves the district’s graduation ceremony to 10 a.m. on May 22, with seniors’ final day of classes set for May 19.
District staff member Mr. Parks presented the request and told trustees the proposed schedule meets state/instructional‑hour requirements for graduating seniors. “They get their hours in,” Parks said during the discussion.
Why it matters: The calendar change affects the senior class schedule and the timing of commencement but does not change the calendar for other grade levels. Trustees approved the change by voice vote after a short discussion about timing and possible weather concerns.
Meeting action: Trustee Jones moved to approve the 2025–26 calendar modification for graduation; an unnamed trustee seconded the motion and the board voted in favor.
Ending: The district will publish the updated calendar reflecting the May 22, 10 a.m. graduation time and May 19 final day for seniors.
