SUMMARY:Graduation Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Graduation Day Schedule:   Saturday, May 30th, 2026\n \n1:30 p.m.         All grads required onsite at the Filberg Park in Comox\n2:00 p.m.         Commencement ceremony begins\n4:00-4:15 p.m. Ceremony ends; students and parents mingle\n4:15-4:30 p.m. Minuet and parent dances on the lower lawns\nNote:  Parking can be chaotic, so I would encourage you to factor in time as you may have to walk a bit to the event.\n \n \nFrequently Asked Questions About Graduation\nHow many tickets are issued to each grad? How do I obtain them?\nEach grad will be issued 6 tickets on May 25th, which will gain entrance to either the Filberg Lodge site or the school gym. You may request more tickets by contacting the office, although there is no guarantee that you will receive them. You will not be given tickets if your grad fees are not paid. Any extra tickets will be distributed evenly among those who have put their names on the list for more. Please contact an administrator if the grad fee is an issue for your family.\n**Please do not ask for the maximum number of tickets if you do not need them.**\nI have heard that the ceremonies are going to be held outside – is this true?\nYes, weather permitting – the ceremonies will be held at the Filberg Lodge grounds. Please prepare for the weather in the event of cooler temperatures or a rain shower. It can also be quite hot in the sun, so a fan or a hat would be a good idea in the case of a hot day!\nIs there a backup plan if the weather prohibits outdoor activities?\nThe alternative venue will be Highland’s gymnasium. Mr. Miller will decide by 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 29th, as to the appropriateness of the weather. The decision will be posted on the school website at that time if the venue needs to change to the gym. Remember, seating is limited in the gym due to fire regulations, and guests will not be admitted without the appropriate tickets.\nWhat is the minuet?\nWe are lucky to have Maria Buckley return to volunteer her time to teach this traditional dance to the grads. Hailed as the event that unites the grad class, lessons began in late March. The minuet is not a “couples” dance and all participants must be Highland grads. Students have been encouraged to find partners who are committed to the practices and event.\n
