Dear Mead Families,
Although it’s still winter, we wanted to provide an update on the eighth-grade graduation ceremony. It’s a milestone we look forward to each year, and we know you share that excitement. This year we will be hosting our graduation at 8:00pm on Thursday, May 21, 2026 at Conant High School.
We will not be issuing tickets for graduation, however, due to the capacity of the gymnasium, we ask all families to please be courteous in regards to the total number of family members in attendance.
Please plan to arrive by 7:30 pm on the night of the ceremony so students have time to line up in the cafeteria and you have time to find your seats. There will be limited seating available on the floor for individuals who cannot navigate the bleachers.
The last day of school for eighth-grade students will be that same day, May 21, 2026. On this day, students will be rehearsing for the graduation ceremony and all 8th grade students MUST be in attendance.
I will continue to share additional information this spring about graduation and other end-of-the-year celebrations, but for now we wanted you to have this date to mark on your calendar. We are looking forward to celebrating our 8th graders in May.
Tricia Leong
Principal
Mead Junior High
