Persons picking up the graduate must come inside the location and sign out your student.
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! Click on our registration form and pay via PayPal or check. While a $125 dollar donation is recommended to cover the expense of putting on this amazing celebration for our students, no student will be turned away for inability to make that donation.
ONLINE DONATION FORM IS NOW OPEN! Grad Bash is solely funded through parent fundraising and donations from area businesses and the community. No student will be turned away especially for an inability to contribute, thanks to our generous donors. The cost to sponsor one student is $125.00.
