Valdosta High School will host their commencement ceremony for the Class of 2024 on Friday, May 24, 2024 at 8:00 pm on Cleveland Field in historic Bazemore-Hyder Stadium. Graduating seniors have been given 20 tickets each for their friends and family. Everyone attending graduation must have a ticket to enter the stadium. There are no extra tickets available at VHS or at the Board of Education. Employees of Valdosta City Schools are welcome to attend and must present their VCS ID for entry.
Be reminded that Valdosta City Schools has a clear bag policy. Visitors may bring in one clear bag no larger than 12"x6"x12" or the size of a one-gallon plastic storage bag along with a small clutch or purse for privacy. See the clear bag policy for further details. All guests will be required to enter the stadium through one of three gates open on the home side. Each person must go through the weapons detections systems set up in these locations. The gate that is closest to Slater Street is for graduates only.
Additionally, the administration of Valdosta High School asks that ceremony attendees refrain from bringing in any celebratory items including but not limited to gifts, stuffed animals, flowers, balloons, air horns, or confetti poppers. We also remind all guests that disrupting the ceremony by shouting, using artificial noise makers, etc. takes away significantly from the dignity of the event. Please be respectful so that all families and friends can hear the name of the graduate as it is called. Security will be on hand to deal with anyone who disrupts the ceremony.
The entire event will be streamed live on the Valdosta City Schools’ YouTube channel for friends and family who will not be able to attend in person. The live stream can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@GoVCSCats/streams.
Congratulations to our graduating seniors and we look forward to celebrating each of you.
