Westside High School Commencement
Commencement will be held this year at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 23, at the Ralston Arena. This is a sophisticated event that has prestige and dignity. All students, parents, relatives, and friends of graduates are in- vited and encouraged to attend. Students are not limited on the number of guests invited to attend graduation. We will provide a photographer who will take quality pictures of each graduate as she/he receives her/his diploma. View and order photos through the online website www.bobthepictureman.com.photoreflect.com. No other picture-taking will be allowed in the stage area during the ceremony. Those of you wishing to take pictures in the stage area may do so after the ceremony. Individuals who enter the stage area will be asked to leave. You are also encouraged to support your graduate with applause as he or she crosses the stage. Please help us provide a quality Commencement by limiting movement in the seating area once the ceremony has begun. Please refrain from throwing anything from the seating area or using noisemakers of any kind. Ralston Arena staff will be checking all bags and any noise makers will be confis- cated. Thank you in advance for your consideration of these requests.
