Graduation: Hononegah Community High School

The Kelsey Field stadium is the site of Hononegah Community High School's 2021 unified graduation.  Each graduate  received four tickets after Friday morning's graduation rehearsal, but the ceremony will be live-streamed on Facebook Live and the NFHS Network.

The graduation ceremony will be held at Kelsey Field with the Hononegah Fieldhouse as our rain site. The gates will open to the public at 9:15 a.m., and the ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are required for entry.

• Due to limited parking, graduates should not drive to the ceremony.
• Family members should park in the main parking on Hononegah Rd or at the old Rockton Grade School lot west of the school.
• Graduates will enter through Door 39 near the old main gym no later than 9:30 a.m.
• Tickets will be checked and collected at the stadium gates or in the Fieldhouse lobby as families enter.
• Wheelchair-accessible seating will be available on the track in either location.
• The ceremony will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. and should last approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
• Parents and guests are not permitted in the student seating area before or during the commencement exercise.
• We have scheduled professional photographers to take pictures. The purchase of pictures is optional.
• After the ceremony, please meet your graduate and exit the facility safely and quickly.
• Appropriate Attire: There will be no signs, messages, etc., on the gowns or the caps. There should be no flowers on the gown. Males should wear dress slacks, a shirt with collar, dress shoes, and females should wear a dress, blouse and skirt or dress pants with dress shoes and bring bobby pins to hold the cap in place. Cap and gown are required.

According to a May 14 letter from Principal Chad Dougherty,  "Senior class pranks will not be tolerated and may result in a loss of participation in the Graduation Ceremony... We hope that we can maintain a high level of dignity around this important ceremony. Blown up beach balls, bouncy balls, “silly string,” bull horns, or other items that distract from the ceremony are not appropriate.... We want to do everything possible to make this activity a cherished memory for all of our students. If the action takes attention away from the ceremony and focuses on an individual or group of individuals, then it takes attention away from another graduate and is therefore inappropriate and unacceptable."
