Lakeview Jr./Senior High School will no longer require tickets for this year’s graduation ceremony after concerns were raised by students, families and community members.
In a message to the school community, Principal Stepp acknowledged the feedback and said the timing of the initial decision was not ideal. School leadership determined that removing the ticket requirement would allow for a more inclusive celebration for seniors and their families.
The change means graduation will be open to attendees without restrictions, allowing for a larger show of support for the graduating class.
School officials said the experience will be used to guide future planning efforts, with an emphasis on ensuring important milestones like graduation remain positive and accessible for all involved.
