Dear Graduates of 2022,

The Commencement ceremony for Graduates of 2022 will take place at Preston High School on Friday, October 14th at 7:00pm. Tickets to Commencement are not required but we do ask our Graduates, and their families, to be mindful of our capacity limitations and keep their party to a minimum.

We are excited to welcome our 2022 Graduates back to Preston High School and in order to ensure the smooth running of the ceremony, please see below for instructions as you arrive:

  • 6:00pm – Graduates arrive via the main entrance of the school and make their way to the Single Gym. Gowns, if purchased, will be available for Pick Up in the Single Gym. Please form a line in front of the Alphabetical signage appropriate to you.
  • Once you have collected your Gown, please find your Reader Card on the tables set out. Fine-point Sharpies will be available for use.
  • 6:30pm – Graduates will be asked to line up in alphabetical order in designated rows inside the single gym (Reader cards will also be numbered to help you find your place in the line). Marshalls will be available to answer questions.
  • 6:45pm – Please pay close attention to the final instructions by Marshalls.
  • 6:55pm – Procession and seating in the Double Gym – please follow marshalls and MAINTAIN YOUR ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
  • On arrival at the school, family members may proceed to the Double Gym to take their seat. The event entrance, at the side of the school (accessible via the parking lot), is available to anyone with mobility issues.

If you have not yet ordered a Gown and would like to do so, we are offering a final order opportunity. Orders can be placed at the school (main office). The cost of the Souvenir Package is $30 (cash only). The deadline for ordering is Friday, September 30th at 2pm. No orders will be placed after this date.

Questions regarding commencement may be directed to our email at phs@wrdsb.ca.
