Need to Know: Rye High Graduation Friday: Program, Live Stream, Grad List, The Heat & More
Even with temperatures expected to flirt with triple digits, Rye High School seniors will officially graduate at 6:30pm on Friday, June 21, at the traditional Nugent Stadium location. Although the evening start will quell some of the heat, spectators should expect the ceremony to last 90 minutes and temperatures to sit in the 80s or high 70s.
Here is what you need to know:
The Heat
On Thursday afternoon, Rye High Principal Suzanne Short sent out an email confirming time and date regardless of heat, and cited several heat mitigation steps the school will use at graduation. These include: large misting fans in strategic locations; buckets of ice cold bottled water; and tented seating for senior citizens or others requiring shade. Spectators are also permitted and encouraged to bring their own water, fans, ice packs, and other combative gear – coolers, however, are prohibited.
Live Stream Link & Program
The program and live stream link for the 93rd annual graduation procession follows. For those out of town or avoiding the heat, watch the ceremony via LocalLive starting at 6:30pm.
