Due to social distance restrictions The Orleans Arena accommodates more students and more guests than The Thomas & Mack. Due to the size of our 2021 graduating class, The Orleans is the venue that best fits Green Valley High School students.

The first ceremony begins at 8 a.m. and the second ceremony is at 12 p.m.

To accommodate all Green Valley graduates and give time for the venue to be thoroughly cleaned between ceremonies.

It is split alphabetically. Students with the LAST names A-LEE and IB graduates will attend the 8 a.m. ceremony. Students with the LAST names LEM – Z will attend the 12 p.m. ceremony.

Unfortunately commencement ceremony times cannot be changed.

Each graduate will receive four tickets to the ceremony.

No, all graduates will receive four tickets.

No. Tickets are issued in pods of four and cannot be shared. This is a social distancing rule.

Yes, there will be handicap seating. However it will not be on the floor as it was in previous years to the social distancing and spacing of Green Valley Graduates.

Once you arrive at the venue, you will request a handicap seating with the ushers.
