Commencement—3:00-5:00pm, Skyhawk Stadium, Southridge High School

Students should arrive at 2:00pm and check-in at the Front Entrance of SRHS.
Skyhawk Stadium will also open at 2:00pm for seating. We will use two entrances, one down by Conestoga Rec Center at the bottom of the ramp, and the other near the home stands and the plaza. The concession stand will be open, with proceeds supporting athletic scholarships.
We will have the field open if you would like to bring lawn chairs and blankets. The home stands will also be open for families and guests to sit in.
For parents, seating in Skyhawk Stadium is on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are required for admission. Please be considerate of other guests attending; we ask families to not "reserve" whole blocks of seats for later arriving families.
Students’ personal items (purses, phones, etc.) must be left with friends or family during graduation. These items are not allowed backstage, and graduates will be asked to turn them over to staff.
There will be some reserved seating for those in wheelchairs or with similar disability needs. Please let the volunteer ushers know when you arrive if you have special seating needs.
It is expected that our graduating seniors dress in attire that matches the significance of this event. Caps and gowns need to be worn as issued.
- Caps can be decorated. We encourage students to be creative and thoughtful. Inappropriate designs, derogatory language, and political statements will not be allowed.
- Students may wear cultural stoles and leis. We ask students to NOT drape a flag over their robe or wear a flag. If students would like to represent their nationality we ask that they decorate their cap and/or purchase a stole with their countries flag as the design.
- Students are asked to dress appropriately for graduation, (i.e. business attire). Please do NOT wear heels that puncture the field as they will sink into the field.
We have arranged to have a professional photographer to capture the moment of graduation for each graduate and that photo will be made available for purchase.
If you need to request an American Sign Language interpreter at graduation, please contact Sho Shigeoka at 503-356-2890 or Sho_Shigeoka@beaverton.k12.or.us by Friday, June 3. We will once again be live-streaming the Commencement Ceremony. Specific details will be released closer to Graduation.
