Dear Parents and Seniors:
CONGRATULATIONS! The beginning of the senior year marks the pinnacle of your
high school experience. High school graduation is a milestone in everyone’s lifetime. GRADUATION CEREMONY
On behalf of the Sunnyside High School staff, we commend you for the hard work,
patience and perseverance in pursuing the goal of high school graduation. This year
is very important and exciting for parents and students as we move toward the Class
of 2019 Commencement Ceremony on Wednesday, June 5, 2019 at 8:00 p.m. at the
Save Mart Center.
The senior year is filled with several events, and the following information is
designed to assist and inform students and their parents in regards to upcoming
senior events, estimated costs, and policies and expectations of Sunnyside High
School’s Graduation. We provide a variety of organized and enjoyable activities for
the senior class during their senior year and encourage all seniors to participate.
The senior year is busy, but we want to remind you of the importance of
maintaining good attendance and grades. Most colleges will conditionally accept
students, and submission of the final senior transcript will determine final Wednesday, June 5th, 2019, 8:00 PM
admission. In most cases, students will be required to maintain a certain GPA in
order to keep their acceptance status. Seniors need to stay focused on their

coursework. Although the senior year is an exciting year for our students, please Graduates will need to report to the Savemart Center at 2:45 PM.

uncertainty. It is extremely important that seniors and their parents keep an open
line of communication with their family, friends, and teachers. Graduation is free to attend and there is no ticket required.
There is a fee for parking charged by the Savemart Center $10
As times in our society may seem fractured or splintered, I look forward to
launching the Class of 2019 into society, as I know that this is a group of individuals
who won’t tolerate polarization and who embrace the beauty and strength of
diversity. Socrates stated, “the secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on
SOBER GRAD
fighting the old, but on building the new.” I have watched the Class of 2019 continue
to develop a community that is focused on positive social change. Each class has
their own energy and personality. This class has been quite, methodical, and
focused. I expect that as they work to come together collectively this year, we will
see them lead social change that is about building up a community rather than Wednesday, June 5th, 2019
tearing it down. This is a class that will not be “fighting the old”; they will be forging
positive change one person, one act of kindness, and one day at time. I look forward
10:00 pm – 2:00 AM
to congratulating our students on the completion of their first important step “on Blackbeard’s Family Entertainment Center

Seniors, you do not want to miss this special event!
