2023 Graduation Ceremony Venue Change Graphic

GRADUATION VENUE CHANGE:  Due to the uncertain weather forecast tomorrow, the St. James R-1 High School Graduation Ceremony will now be held in the Middle School Gymnasium at 7:00 PM. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this adjustment. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Here are some important details to note:

Parking Arrangements:
  • Each graduate received one ticket during this morning's practice for themselves or their family to park in the designated parking lot.
  • Only vehicles with tickets will be allowed to park in the middle school parking lot.
  • All other vehicles must park at the Distribution Center.
  • Copeland Bus Services will provide shuttles to and from the Distribution Center before and after the graduation ceremony.
  • Shuttles will commence operations when the doors open at 5:30 PM.
Drop-Off Option
  • If you have a valid reason for needing to drop someone off at the entrance, vehicles may pull into the lot for drop-off purposes. 
  • However, it is important to note that these vehicles must then return to the Distribution Center parking lot.

Spectators:

  • We are happy to inform you that there are no limitations on the number of spectators who may attend the ceremony.
  • Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • The commons area will be open for those who wish to watch the ceremony.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we adapt to these changes. We look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with you and your loved ones!
