    • A: Accessible seating begins at 1:45 pm, followed by general seating starting at 2 pm. The ceremony begins at 3 pm.
  • Q: Is there transportation to and from the ceremony?
    • A: There are buses to take you from the school to the State Theatre, but there is no transport provided after the ceremony. This year, the ceremony is about a 10 minute walk from school and the Wellness deck. After the ceremony, you can ride back with your family members or walk to your car at the Wellness deck.
  • Q: What do we need to bring to the ceremony?
    • A: Yourself, your white coat, and minimal essentials. Please bring as few personal belongings as possible, as there is little space to store them at the State Theatre. Small clutches and purses are acceptable.
  • Q: Is there anything we cannot bring to the ceremony?
    • A: No backpacks, outside food or drinks are allowed.

Remember, if you are storing any materials in your locker at school, you will need your ID to return to school — so plan to keep your ID on you.
