Graduation Information: There is a high chance of rain tonight at the conclusion of the graduation ceremony. First National Bank Arena has a no 're-entry' policy back into the arena. If it is raining at the conclusion of the ceremony, we will dismiss the graduates from the lower meeting room to the upstairs entrances, inside, so parents, family, and friends may take pictures inside in the arena. If it is raining at the conclusion of the ceremony, please stay inside the arena by the entrances for any photos with graduates.
