It is officially 2025! We know there may be many graduation questions, especially if you are the first learner in your family to graduate from Frontier STEM Academy. The FSA graduation will be held at the Dr. Jim Vaszauskas Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, May 22nd at 8:00 p.m. Mansfield ISD will continue to update graduation information on the Mansfield ISD Graduation Information Page. Below is a timeline with some specific information.

First week of March:

• An email with information on special seating requests will be sent, and
• Jostens will deliver graduation caps and gowns to FSA.

Mid-March to mid-April: Ms. Fisher, the Class of 2025 sponsor, will collect pictures from parents and learners for the senior slideshow, which will be played at graduation prior to learners entering the auditorium.

First week of April: An email with information on the specific number of tickets each graduate will receive will be sent to learners and families. Please note:

• Tickets are free and will be distributed at FSA.
• If a learner is not in good standing academically, absent failing, or owes fines, a hold will be placed on their tickets, and
• Tickets will be placed in an envelope and learners will draw their tickets out of a bucket and then envelopes with ticket sections (locations) are randomly placed in the bucket.

Early May:

• An email with a link to help our announcer properly pronounce each graduate’s name will be sent, and
