Union County High School Graduation Update
Due to the graduates' preference for an outdoor ceremony, the graduation ceremony is now scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM tonight at Mike Colwell Memorial Stadium. The stadium gates will open at 5:00 PM.
Families and guests should come prepared for rain. Please bring ponchos, towels, and rain gear. Umbrellas will not be allowed during the ceremony in order to protect everyone’s view.
If weather conditions do not allow graduation to be held safely outside at 6:00 PM, the ceremony will be moved indoors to the Union County Fine Arts Center at 7:00 PM. Due to the threat of inclement weather and the professional electronics required, there will not be fireworks following the ceremony.
(IF THE CEREMONY IS MOVED INSIDE)
Ticketed family members should bring their 4 tickets either way. If graduation is moved indoors, ONLY the 4 ticketed guests per graduate will be able to attend inside the Fine Arts Center.
All overflow attendees who do not have a ticket may watch the ceremony via video in the UCHS gymnasium or from home through the YouTube live feed. The live YouTube link will be available on the UC Schools website at www.ucschools.org.
Families are encouraged to carpool if possible due to limited parking and traffic flow around campus. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we work to provide the best possible graduation experience for the Class of 2026.
