Graduation Update!!!
Dear Class of 2024 Students & Families,
For the past five years, we have worked with Santander Arena to host our Graduation celebration. This venue provides a climate-controlled event that allows each of our 500 graduates at least six tickets for their families. Throughout the years, the staff at the arena has consistently responded to last minute updates and requests and have put our students and their families at the forefront of our collaborative efforts.
This year, Santander reached out to us with a scheduling conflict and asked that we move our date to Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 6:00pm. Due to our long-standing relationship, Santander offered to cover the full cost, including deposit, for the event. As a result, the Boyertown Area School District Class of 2024 Graduation Celebration will take place on Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 6:00pm. This also means that we will conduct our Graduate Walk on Thursday, May 30, 2024 [additional details will follow]. We realize that this will create an inconvenience for some and wanted to ensure that we provided as much time as possible to plan. Thank you for understanding our position and supporting our students.
Thank you,
BASH Administration
