Graduation

What is the 2026 Graduation Date?

Commencement is scheduled for Friday, May 29, at 7 p.m. 

Where will Commencement take place?

The event will be held on Pioneer Field at J.K. Mechanical Stadium on Friday, May 29, at 7 p.m., weather permitting. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved to the L-S High School Performing Arts Center. Because of limited seating, each graduate will receive a limited number of tickets for the indoor graduation, which will be handed out at graduation practice.

If commencement is held outdoors, the gates will open at 5:30 p.m. for ticketed guests and at 6:15 p.m. for all others. Only guests with tickets can enter the PAC if the ceremony is indoors. Commencement will be streamed live on our YouTube channel regardless of location.

Seniors will take a well-earned trip down memory lane during this year's Senior Walkthrough. This event gives soon-to-be grads the opportunity to reminisce about their L-S journey by seeing past teachers and current students from Lampeter ES, Hans Herr ES, Martin Meylin MS, and LSHS. Please watch our website and social media channels for a recap of this year's Senior Walkthrough!
