Graduation Requirements
In order to participate in the graduation ceremony, each student must meet all graduation requirements prior to the ceremony. See your guidance counselor if you have any questions or concerns.
*Parking is limited. Each student will receive one parking permit per family. Families are encouraged to carpool as we do not have enough spaces to accommodate multiple drivers per family on campus. Satellite parking will be made available with buses making the trip from Chancellors Run Regional Park to Great Mills High School throughout the morning and after the ceremony. Detailed information will be made available soon.
**A change from the stadium as a result of bad weather will be made by 6 pm on June 1 at the latest. Plan B will take place in the school's auditorium over three sessions. More information will be made available in the coming weeks.
