MHS Graduation: Change of Location!

After viewing recent weather reports and consulting with our support staff, I have decided to relocate the ceremony to the Granite Valley Middle School Soccer Field. We will begin at 7pm and admission is open to the public. Please note the following details. Access to the red chairs on the field will be by ticket-only. However, there are not as many chairs as tickets so I recommend you arrive early to claim your seats. Access to the chairs will begin at 6pm with staff supervision. I would encourage people to bring a lawn-chair and/or blanket. Those not sitting in the red chairs can sit on the hill or other available areas. Attention graduates: we will hold tomorrow’s rehearsal in the MHS gymnasium. Please be prepared to start at 8:30am. Thursday’s rehearsal will be on the soccer field. I thank everyone for their cooperation and understanding. I believe an outdoor ceremony will be more enjoyable while also encouraging those without tickets to attend.

2012 Graduation Location

Good evening. This is Dr. Linkenhoker, the Principal of Monson High School. I want to inform everyone of my decision regarding the location of next Friday’s Graduation Ceremony. I have studied the weather for next Friday all week. Unfortunately the multiple sources I have been watching keep leaning towards a good chance of rain and/or showers.

In order to prepare for this momentous occasion, we must begin setting up this weekend. If I decide to be outside and then rain becomes more prominent we have no option of moving inside. Therefore, I am making the official decision that the 2012 MHS Graduation Ceremony will be held in the Monson High School Gymnasium beginning at 7pm. Because we are inside, we must limit admission by ticket only.

Graduating seniors will receive their allocated tickets on Thursday, May 31st after our final rehearsal. Those who wish to be part of the celebration, but do not have a ticket are invited to sit in our cafeteria. MPACT will provide a live-feed of the ceremony on a large screen in the cafeteria.

I thank you for your cooperation and I look forward to a wonderful senior week and graduation!

Take care and good night.
