Congratulations to the Class of 2025 & Important Information!

Dear Class of 2025 Students, Parents & Guardians, 

Congratulations to the Class of 2025 on their last day of high school classes! As we celebrate our graduates we also wanted to share and remind you of important information: 

Chromebooks:
All graduates are required to turn in their Chromebooks, chargers and stylus at this time. These items were collected during gym classes this week. For those who did not return their items, please be sure to return your items to the ELC during school hours. These items must be returned prior to Wednesday's Prom (Those with Regents Exams after that date can return after their last exam). Please note that students are not eligible to attend end of year functions if all items are not returned and fees/fines are not addressed. 

Graduation Rehearsal: 
Our mandatory graduation rehearsal takes place on Thursday, June 26th at 11 AM. This is a mandatory graduation rehearsal. Please note that students must be in attendance at this rehearsal in order to be eligible to participate in the graduation ceremony. Our rehearsal will begin with a special luncheon in our cafeteria. Students will then proceed to the turf for our rehearsal. We will end the day with students receiving their caps, gowns, special gifts, and more. Please note that all students should have their fines/fees resolved and Chromebooks returned by this time. Not doing so will result in significant departure delays. 

Graduation Day:
The SHS Class of 2025 Commencement Ceremony will take place on Friday, June 27th at 6:00 PM on the turf field. All graduates are required to arrive at Southampton High School at 3:00 PM on that day. Students who drive will be required to park in the SIS parking lot. Students will participate in another quick rehearsal, have the Class picture taken, receive honor stoles and cords, and much more. 
Because our graduation ceremony is outside on the turf, no tickets are required and all are welcome. Doors will open approximately 4:45 PM or as soon as the class is finished with their events on the field. Please note that seating is first come first serve and the saving of seats for guests not present is strictly prohibited. 

Rain Date: 
In the event of inclement weather, our graduation ceremony will take place on Sunday, June 29th at 12:00 PM (Please be advised that this time may be slightly adjusted). We will notify the community at least 24 hours in advance if we need to implement the rain date plan. 

We are so excited for our graduates and wish the Class of 2025 all the best. We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2025 at our graduation ceremony!
