Event Expectations

  • All senior level students should wear their graduation CAP & GOWN.  
  • Students should arrive no later than 3:30pm.  Vehicles should be parked in one of the three available lots (Scenic Overlook with Beach View, Scenic Overlook with Restroom Access, Visitor Center Parking Lot).  Students must remain in their vehicles until dismissed by school support personnel. 

  • Students are encouraged to use the restroom prior to coming to the event. 

  • School support personnel will coordinate all student movement from start to finish.  Students will be purposely placed 6-10 feet apart along the lake view walkway.  This area is protected by a guardrail.    

  • Students will be provided with a face mask upon exiting their vehicles.  They will be required to wear this when walking to their designated location.  Students do not need to continue wearing their mask once they are in their reserved spot.  When returning to their vehicles after the experience, students will be required to wear their provided mask. Please keep these masks for all additional events.  They can be washed up to ten times per the manufacturer recommendation.  

  • Senior yard signs will be set up on display next to each graduating senior.  Students should take these home with them after the event.  

  • There may be no person-to-person contact during the experience. 

  • We will have a professional photographer and a professional videographer on site during the entire experience. Aerial photography (drone usage) is not permitted. 

  • Please help us ensure a safe and steady flow of traffic throughout the experience.  At no point in time should spectators/supporters park, or exit their vehicles.  Individuals within your vehicle, with obvious exception to the actual driver, are allowed to safely take photos of the graduates while driving thru the scenic overlook.  However, please be rest assured that there will be several photos and videos taken during the experience that will be freely shared with the public.  

  • This student experience is accessible to persons with disabilities, and all necessary accommodations for students with special needs will be provided.
