We make every attempt to hold the graduation exercises on the scheduled date. If the weather is
not suitable, our first alternative, if the weather is predicted to clear, is to delay the start of the
ceremony. Only if that is not possible do we use our rain date plans. If the ceremony cannot be
held on Friday, June 3rd, the back-up date is Saturday, June 4th, at 5:30 p.m. If it is not possible
to hold the outdoor ceremony on either date, the next alternative is Sunday, June 5th, at 3:00 p.m.
In any event, seniors are to report for line-up one hour prior to the starting time.
The decision about whether to delay the ceremony is made by the principal and the
superintendent of schools. If any delay is contemplated, information will be posted
on the home page of the high school web site (ab.mec.edu/abrhs).
Photographs will be taken by a professional photographer who has been engaged specifically
for graduation. The photographer will take your graduate’s picture as he/she receives their
diploma. There is no obligation to purchase this picture. However, if you wish to take advantage
of the photo offer from the photographer, you should follow directions in the materials that will
be sent to you under separate cover.
