Dear Locust Valley School Community:
The high school Graduation of the Class of 2023 is tomorrow Saturday, June 24th at 11am.
Update related to Weather
Our plan continues to be an outdoor graduation ceremony at 11am on the Fred Smith Field at Locust Valley Middle/High School.
At this time, the forecast for Graduation day reflects temperatures approximately 80 degrees with rain clearing early morning.
We are prepared for an outdoor ceremony and expect a beautiful event.
No ticket is needed for an outdoor ceremony. Seating is offered in the bleachers and on the track area. Graduates are seated on the field.
Given uncertain weather circumstances, outdoor streaming equipment will be modified. Video taping of the event will occur and will be published to our Locust Valley HS Film and TV Youtube account.
Our ceremony is traditionally between 1:05 and 1:30 minutes.
We will continue to monitor the weather forecast through the evening and into the morning. In the event of poor weather continuing into the late morning, we are prepared if necessary to move the ceremony indoors. If the ceremony is indoors it will be in the auditorium with attendance limited to ticketed guests. Guests must be prepared with tickets in order to enter; graduates and on-stage guests do not need a ticket. Capacity is limited in the auditorium.
If We Host An Indoor Ceremony…
Tickets are needed to enter the auditorium. Alternative viewing locations are available without tickets – the mini-theater and ms/hs cafeteria.
To support family, friends, and staff interested in viewing the ceremony but unable to attend, we will provide a web-based live stream presentation of the ceremony. The livestream will be published to our Locust Valley HS Film and TV Youtube account and posted on our website.

Graduation is a special event for the graduates, families, and our school community. Congratulations to all involved students, families, staff, and community members. We are closely monitoring the forecast. If we make any changes, we will inform you as early as possible tomorrow. Thank you for your cooperation and support.
