Graduation Logistics
The commencement ceremony will take place in the football stadium. The stage will be set up on the north end of the football field. Graduates will remain standing until all graduates have entered the stadium. Several speakers will address the graduates and the audience. Graduates will then be called up alphabetically to receive their diploma. Students will return to their seats and remain standing until everyone in their row returns. At the conclusion of the ceremony, family and guests will be invited onto the field to greet graduates and take pictures.
Graduates must be in the large gym no later than 6:15 p.m. Due to the amount of time it takes to line up and prepare students for the procession, it is possible they will not be able to march if they are not in the gym by 6:15 p.m. Please have your student here on time!
*Personal items may not be left in the gym
Combs High School has contracted with Lou Coopey Photography to have photos taken of each graduate as they receive their diploma. Pictures may be purchased through Lou Coopey Photography at 480-830-5667 or Loucoopey.com.
