Graduation Tickets:
This year we will be issuing tickets for the Graduation
Ceremony. Tickets are free, and each graduate will be given 10 tickets to
distribute. Tickets will be available starting June 1st. If you do
not need all 10 you can return extras or give them to another student in need.
Tickets are transferable (meaning if you don’t use yours, you can give them to
another grad). Students needing more tickets can submit a request starting on
June 5th, and all available extra tickets will be distributed by June 10th. The
SWAC bleachers have ample seats for the senior class families, and we will do
our best to make sure all reasonable requests for additional tickets are granted.
Seats cannot be reserved and will be first-come, first-serve when the doors
open at 4:00 p.m.
Accessibility:
Special areas will be reserved for those in attendance
needing accommodations including those in wheelchairs or those who cannot walk
down the stairs. Please feel free to drive to the top of the stadium and drop
off prior to parking.
Weather:
The super long-range forecast is currently calling for
temperatures in the mid-60s with a less than 15% chance of rain during our
window of time. The ceremony will happen on the field rain or shine – graduates
will be reminded to bring light layers to wear under their gowns. The SWAC
stands only have partial covering, so check the weather report and please come
prepared!
Driving Directions & Parking:
We are graduating our senior class conveniently across the
street from CSIHS at the South West Activities Center (SWAC) and the address is
2801 SW Thistle St, Seattle, WA 98126. Parking is first-come, first-serve.
Parking is available in the SWAC lot, and in the CSIHS lot. In addition,
parking will be available along all the neighboring streets. We are NOT the
only event scheduled at SWAC that day, (the WSHS graduation is immediately
after ours) so please make plans to leave the SWAC afterwards to make way for
the next ceremony.
Graduation Ceremony: Graduation
will start promptly at 5:00 p.m. The soon-to-be graduates will begin
walking into the stadium beginning at 4:55 p.m. Upon completion the graduates
will leave the field and be available for pick-up in front of the Sealth
Auditorium. The WSHS graduation is immediately after ours, so the SWAC stands
will be cleared as soon as our ceremony is finished. No family members or
supporters will be allowed on the field at any time. Ushers will occupy the lower
level of each set of stairs to ensure that people do not come down to the
bottom of the stairs to stand or take pictures.
