Greenwich High School Graduation Class of 2022

The Greenwich High School class of 2022 graduation has been set for Thursday, June 23, 2022 at 5:00 pm. Please see below for information regarding graduation rehearsal, graduation, and the post graduation party.

GRADUATION:

Date & Location:

• Thursday, June 23 at 5:00 pm at Cardinal Stadium
• In the event of inclement weather, two ceremonies will take place in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) on June 23rd. At 4:00 pm, students whose last names begin with A-K will graduate. At 7:15 pm, students whose last names begin with L-Z will graduate.
• The decision to move to an indoor ceremony will be made by 12:00 pm on graduation day.  An email will be sent out to all graduates and parents/guardians.  It will also be posted on the GHS website.

Tickets:

• No tickets are required for the outdoor ceremony. Seating is unlimited.
• If the ceremony is inside, each family will receive 2 indoor graduation electronic tickets. These tickets will be sent via email on Wednesday,  June 22nd if it looks as though we might need them.
• With every family receiving 2 tickets we will have some extra seats in the PAC.  We will run a lottery for the extra tickets.  Each family will be entered. An email will be sent out at the end of this month to let you know whether or not you will receive an additional ticket.

Parking:

• Parking is limited and is available on the premises and along Hillside Road.
• Additional parking is also available at Greenwich Country Day School and Central Middle School where shuttle buses will provide transportation to and from GHS.
• Our neighbors at Christ Church and Temple Shalom are also allowing us to use portions of their parking lots.  Please be advised, there will be parents picking up young ones at this time so please be extra careful in the parking lots.
• If you are considering using a ride share service for drop off and pick up, that should be done at Greenwich Country Day School or CMS and then take the shuttle to GHS.  Hillside becomes one way after the ceremony so no taxi, Uber, or Lyft drivers will be allowed to drive down Hillside for pick up.

Handicapped Parking:

• The majority of the handicapped parking will be located in the south lot, accessible through driveway #1.
• There is a new smaller handicapped lot directly off of the Post Road as well.
• Only cars with handicapped permits will be allowed to park in these areas.
• There will be a shuttle service from the lots to the field.

Seating:

• For the outdoor ceremony, seating is unlimited and on a first come, first served basis. There is also plenty of standing room. Gates will open 1 hour prior to the ceremony.

Photographs:

• It is not necessary to leave your seat to photograph your senior!  There will be a professional photographer at each diploma platform to photograph each graduate.  These photos will be available for purchase online from USA FOTO.

Live Stream:

• The graduation will be live streamed.  A link will be sent out on June 23rd.

After the Ceremony:

• Parents are asked to have a predetermined meeting place with their child that is outside and not at Cardinal Stadium. Graduates will be going back inside the school to pick up their diplomas. Graduates only have 30 minutes to do this. They will then meet you at your predetermined meeting place.

If you have any further questions, please telephone the Student Activities Office at (203) 625-8038.
