As Bellefontaine High School prepares to celebrate the Class of 2025 on Friday, May 30, school officials are closely monitoring the weather forecast, which currently shows a possibility of rain that could impact the outdoor graduation ceremony.
At this time, the school still plans to hold the ceremony outside as scheduled.
However, in the event of severe weather, the ceremony will be moved indoors to the Bellefontaine High School gymnasium.
A final decision will be made and announced by 2 p.m. on Friday.
If the event is moved indoors, seating will be limited due to space.
Each graduating student will receive four guest tickets during Thursday’s rehearsal for use only if the ceremony takes place inside.
Overflow seating will be available in the school’s auditorium, where the ceremony will be livestreamed for additional family members and friends.
Doors to both the gymnasium and auditorium will open at 6 p.m.
“We appreciate everyone’s understanding and flexibility,” school officials said. “Our goal is to provide a safe, meaningful, and memorable graduation experience for our students and their families—rain or shine.”
