GRADUATION - JUNE 5, 2026title
Graduation is finally here! The class of 2026 will be celebrating their commencement by walking across the stage on Bradley Field on Friday, June 5 at 9:30am.
During this significant milestone, many questions naturally arise regarding the logistics and expectations of the ceremony. We have compiled the following information to ensure a smooth and memorable experience for all graduates and their guests.
Arrival and Logistics
Parking is expected to be extremely limited on graduation day. To alleviate congestion, all attendees are strongly encouraged to utilize carpooling, walking, or ride-share services for this event.
For graduates, the day begins early. All students must be on campus by 9:00am to meet at the I wing lawn for check-in and final preparations. Please be reminded that caps CANNOT be decorated for the formal graduation ceremony; we ask for your cooperation in maintaining the traditional decorum of the event.
Seating and Spectator Information
Guests are encouraged to utilize seating on both sides of Bradley Field to get the best view. To ensure the safety of our students and the integrity of the ceremony, NO ONE is allowed onto the field at any time. The gates for spectator entry will open at 7:30am.
Students will receive specific details regarding their seating assignments during the mandatory rehearsal on Thursday.
Handicap and special seating accommodations are provided at the top of Bradley Field under designated tents. Please be aware that these seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure we can accommodate as many individuals with needs as possible, we request that only one additional companion remains with the individual requiring special seating. The Performing Arts Center will also be open with a live stream of the ceremony.
Ceremony Etiquette
The most poignant moment of the graduation ceremony is hearing each student's name called as they receive their diploma. Out of respect for every graduate and their family, we strictly ask that people DO NOT BRING AIR HORNS! It is our goal to ensure that the celebration of one student does not diminish or drown out the recognition and moment of another.
Post-Ceremony and Memorabilia
Following the conclusion of the commencement, graduates and their families are encouraged to have a pre-arranged meet-up spot designated outside the field to facilitate finding one another in the crowds.

Did you know the Woodside High School has its own recording studio? Check out the music that has been produced by various Wildcats on their website.

Also, Mr. Debets's advanced film class has put together a 41-minute video 1.99 Records Tiny Desk Concert: Take Two. This project was no small undertaking and took coordination between camera operators, editors, music mixers and the musicians themselves.
