VISD ANNOUNCES ENHANCEMENTS TO GRADUATION CEREMONIES FORMAT FOR 2024

Victoria ISD is excited to announce enhancements to the format of this year's graduation ceremony, set to take place at Frost Field at Memorial Stadium. The modifications aim to enhance the overall experience for graduates, families, and guests while ensuring a safe and memorable celebration.

Gates will open at 6:30 p.m. on both the home and visitor sides. The VISD Success Academy will only utilize seating on the home side. The VISD Clear Bag Policy will remain in effect, visit www.visd.net/clearbag for guidelines. 

Guest Seating

Key changes for this year's graduation ceremony include the rotation of the stage and graduate seating, with a 90-degree adjustment positioning the stage in front of the scoreboard, thus opening seating on both the home and visitor sides of the stadium. Guests should communicate with graduates to determine their seating side.

Guests will not be able to sit or stand on the grassy knolls on either side of the stadium or along the fencing around the field. Controlled access measures will be in place to ensure safety and crowd management. Guests will be allowed to pass through the field house end zone side from the home side to the visitor side until 7:50 p.m., after which it will be closed for the duration of the graduation ceremony. No seating will be available in the end zone during the ceremony.

Guest Parking & Concessions

Ample parking will be available on both sides of the stadium, please park on the side of the stadium corresponding to your seating area. Transportation assistance will be available for those with mobility impairments, providing support from the gate entrances to the seating ramps. No outside food or drinks will be allowed into the stadium, each side will have water-only concessions available, which will accept cash only.

Graduation Livestreaming

All graduation ceremonies will be live-streamed on the Victoria ISD YouTube channel, allowing remote participation for friends and family members who cannot attend in person.

Any campus-related graduation information will be shared with graduates and parents/guardians directly from your campus.
