PROJECT GRADUATION DETAILS

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Project Graduation?

    Project Graduation is a parent-planned and run event to ensure that Senior students spend their graduation night in a safe and fun environment where their hard work and dedication to their education can be celebrated.

  • Why is Project Graduation important?

    According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, traffic collisions are the number one killer of teenagers in America. Nationally about 5,000 teens will die in automobile collisions and about ten percent of those deaths are in California alone.  Our goal is to have all of our senior students spend their graduation night in a safe and alcohol/drug-free environment. 

  • I don't want to miss out on my senior student's Grad Night event. How do I get involved?

    That’s easy! Sign up to volunteer.  Click on the "Volunteer" tab from the main menu to learn more about volunteering or choose the email button in the lower right-hand corner to send an email to our planning committee.  Many, many jobs need to be filled.  Some only take 1 hour.

  • What will my student be doing all night?

    The fun starts at 8:30 pm and continues until 3:00 am.  Parents have worked very hard to ensure there is plenty of entertainment for everyone including  photo booths, casino games, prizes, Karaoke, music, dancing,  and many other activities.  Prize raffle begins at 10:00 pm.

  • How does my senior get to Project Graduation?

    We HIGHLY recommend that senior students be dropped off and picked up.  In the past, parents have carpooled to make drop off and pick up more efficient.  Students are usually very tired at the end of a long graduation day and Project Grad.  Driving home from the event is not recommended.

  • Who will be supervising my senior student?

    Parent volunteers will be supervising students inside and outside the venue.  We also have SRPD  onsite during the party. 

  • What if my graduate becomes ill?

    There is a quiet area where  students can rest in chairs and/or bean bags and watch a movie or sleep.  There is also a medical first aid area if they feel ill.  If a student needs to go home, their parents are called and only their parent/guardian may pick them up  even if they are 18.  Should the student choose to leave and is not ill, they will forfeit the Project Grad prizes they have won and will not able to return to the party. 

  • Why can't my student bring a purse or backpack to the event?

    To ensure that the event remains a safe graduation night, purses and/or backpacks are prohibited.  Lockers are not available. Bring only what can be easily carried (camera, phones, yearbook…that’s it).  First Aid booth with be provided.
