Due to the inclement weather forecasted for tomorrow, Saturday, May 16, we have adjusted the graduation ceremony schedule as follows:

Lincoln-Way West (NO CHANGE): 11AM
Lincoln-Way East: 1PM
Lincoln-Way Central: 3PM

We are hopeful that this minor adjustment to the schedule will allow all three ceremonies to take place without interruption from the anticipated storms. If any additional changes become necessary, we will communicate with senior families as promptly as possible.

Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work to provide a safe and memorable celebration for our graduates and their families.

We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2026 with you this weekend!
