MHS Panther Stadium

Massaponax Senior High School Graduation

Thursday, May 21st: begins promptly at 8 am.

Parking opens at 6:30 am, and you must have an MHS Graduation Parking Tag to park in the MHS lot (a handicapped tag does not gain entry)! Each graduate's family will receive one parking pass due to limited parking availability.

Parking for non-tagged cars will be at Lifepoint Church on Rt. 1., and a shuttle will run from the church to MHS.

Stadium gates are open at 7:00 am.

Every guest (babies, infants/children in laps, and guests in wheelchairs included) must have a Graduation Ticket to gain entry to the stadium for the ceremony.

If you leave the stadium for any reason, you will not be permitted to re-enter.

  • Massaponax High School follows a strict no-bag policy

  • Backpacks, large purses, duffel bags, and similar items are prohibited

  • Small clutches and medically necessary or diaper bags are permitted but subject to inspection

  • All guests will pass through Evolv security screening

  • No balloons (they block other guest's view of the ceremony)

Since this is an outdoor event and the forecast currently looks unsettled, we encourage families to plan ahead.

  • Graduation will continue in light rain

  • Umbrellas are not permitted inside the stadium (because it impacts others ability to see)

  • Guests are encouraged to bring disposable rain ponchos

  • Ponchos have already been purchased for all graduates


If weather impacts the ceremony, the currently scheduled rain date is Saturday at 8:00 AM; however, depending on the forecast and conditions, this schedule could be adjusted. Any decisions regarding delays, schedule changes, or cancellations will be made by the Central Office in coordination with all five high schools.

Thank you for your support, flexibility, and cooperation as we prepare to honor the incredible Class of 2026 — rain or shine!
