It's a wonderful weekend to celebrate graduates from Eastside, Union, and Central High Schools. We will be hosting the graduations for each of our 3 county schools tonight and tomorrow. With that being said, make sure you arrive early as traffic might delay your arrival time as everyone attempts to get into the Prior Center. All graduations will be live-streamed from the Prior Center YouTube page, which you can find in the link below. Please be aware that the link will go live approximately an hour before each ceremony begins. You can select which graduation ceremony you want to watch from that page/link. Here are a few reminders for you and some more detailed information regarding each particular graduation:
• A drop-off lane will be placed in the road in front of the facility, so if you have family members who can't quite walk long distance from the parking lots, you can drop them off at the front door.
•ADA seating will be available around the rim of the concourse. A table is set up near the front door where you can request seating. Prior Center Staff will take NO MORE than 2 chairs for your family member(s) to set with each person with ADA requirements, to the location of your selection around the concourse.
•The Lower Level parking lot is closed and must only be used for Prior Center Staff, school administrators, and school board members.
