GRAD PARTY INFORMATION:  
Grad Party was started by a small group of parents in 1986 and it’s success led to it becoming an annual tradition! Just like in 1986, Grad Party is still planned and run by parents and
community volunteers. And, the entire event is funded solely by donations. Parents, local businesses, community members, school staff, students, friends and families have all contributed to the success of Grad Party over the years. How Can You Help This Year?  CLICK HERE for details.
