A parent-hosted tradition for the Class of 2027
After graduation, our seniors deserve one last night to celebrate together as a class. Safe, joyful, and planned by the parents who know them best. Buy your senior's ticket, make a gift, and help us make it the best Grad Nite ever.
The tradition
Some of our seniors have been Tartans since they were three years old. Others joined us as juniors or seniors. On Grad Nite, none of that matters. It is the one evening when the entire Class of 2027 celebrates together, one final time, at a parent-planned party held the night of graduation.
An evening designed by parents who know this class, filled with food, activities, and the kind of memories that last far longer than the tassels.
Graduation night is one of the riskiest nights of the year for teens. Grad Nite gives every senior a safe, supervised place to celebrate with friends, with round-trip bus transportation included.
Our goal is simple: every senior at Grad Nite. Ticket sales and gifts from families together are what make that possible.
When every family participates, at whatever level is right for them, we do more than fund an event. We show our seniors that the entire Tartan community is behind them, and we make it possible for the whole class to celebrate together.
Where we stand
Every ticket and every gift moves the bar. Here is where the Class of 2027 stands today.
Each cap is a senior in the Class of 2027. A cap lights up when that senior's ticket is in. Our goal is to light up all 112.
Tickets
Grad Nite tickets are live! Every senior needs a ticket to attend. Lock in the early-bird rate of $395 now, before the price goes up to $450 on March 15. Want to help make the night unforgettable? You can buy tickets for your senior's friends, or add a gift to your ticket payment to support the class.
A ticket covers your senior's full evening, including round-trip bus transportation. Pay through Venmo or Zelle, and in the note write Ticket followed by the full name of the senior it is for, so we can add them to the list. Buying more than one ticket? List every senior who should receive one.

Questions
One last celebration. It is a special chance for our seniors to spend one final night together as a graduating class. Seniors from past years say it is a night not to miss, and we intend to keep it that way.
A safe night of fun. After a demanding year of studying, finals, AP exams, and college applications, our seniors deserve a chance to let loose and celebrate. Grad Nite gives them the freedom to have a great time with their friends in a safe, supervised environment, and gives parents peace of mind.
Saturday, June 5, following graduation, from approximately 10:30 PM to 4:30 AM. Seniors will have time to enjoy dinner with their families, change, and head to the bus pickup location.
It is a surprise! The destination stays a secret until the seniors arrive. It makes the night even more exciting, and it is a tradition, too.
Round-trip bus transportation is included in the cost of your ticket. Seniors must be dropped off and picked up by an adult at a designated location near the school. They will not be permitted to drive themselves.
Encourage your senior to attend and not miss this unforgettable night. Then buy your ticket and make your gift as soon as possible so the parent volunteers can plan. The committee needs to place a deposit to secure the venue by December 15.
No. Grad Nite is planned, funded, and run entirely by parent volunteers. It is not a school-sponsored event, though it is a beloved tradition for our graduating seniors.
A ticket covers your senior's full evening, including round-trip bus transportation. Tickets are $395 at the early-bird rate and $450 starting March 15.
The true cost of the night is $536 per senior at full participation, so a ticket alone does not cover it. Gifts from families and friends close that gap, which is why we ask every family to consider both a ticket and a gift. Gifts of $600 or more include your senior's ticket.
No. Grad Nite is run by parent volunteers and is not a registered charity, so gifts and ticket purchases are not tax deductible.
Every gift matters, and every gift counts toward our 100% participation goal. Choose the amount that is right for your family and know that it makes a difference.
