• VOLUNTEER SIGN-UPS BEGIN MARCH 1st

It's time to sign up to work a shift at Grad Night. There are nearly 300 volunteer shifts that need to be filled. Who volunteers to work at Grad Night? Sophomore, Junior and Senior parents and community members join together to make this celebration fantastic! Traditionally, sophomore and junior parents volunteer for the early shifts so that senior parents can enjoy Graduation. We need staffing from Friday afternoon through cleanup on Saturday. Shifts are 3 to 4 hours long.
