District 49 sets major graduation dates at World Arena; smaller schools to confirm separate dates
Loading...
Summary
Superintendent and staff told the board that District 49 will hold main graduations at the World Arena on May 23 (Sand Creek 9 a.m., Falcon 1 p.m., Vista Ridge 5 p.m.); smaller schools (Patriot, Spring Studio, PPAC) may schedule separate dates and Patriot was later noted as May 16.
District staff told the board the district will again use the World Arena for its principal graduations and provided dates and times for major high schools: Sand Creek at 9 a.m., Falcon at 1 p.m., and Vista Ridge at 5 p.m. on May 23. The superintendent said staff secured a contract for the venue and that additional graduation dates for smaller or legacy iConnect-zone schools are being finalized.
Board members asked about dates for Patriot High School, Spring Studio and PPAC; staff explained those smaller schools had previously held separate ceremonies under the iConnect zone and that funding and venue choices differ. At one point the superintendent announced Patriot's graduation date as Saturday, May 16, with location listed as "TBD, possibly the Antlers."
Board members were reminded that small-school logistics and cost implications may determine whether those schools join district graduations or hold separate ceremonies.
Ending: Staff will confirm remaining graduation dates and venues before fall break and return the finalized schedule to the board.
