WHEN & WHERE
The Class of 2025 Commencement ceremony will take place in Silva Concert Hall at Hult Center for the Performing Arts at 7:00pm, Monday, June 9, 2025. The venue address is 1 Eugene Center, Eugene, OR 97401

 

CAP & GOWN
The only required purchase is the cap & gown set which must be worn for the graduation ceremony. If the cost of a cap & gown presents a financial burden, please contact Eric in the main office: elligott_e@4j.lane.edu.

Cap & Gown sets will be distributed with graduation tickets beginning the week of May 12. to seniors who have completed the check-out process.

GRADUATION TICKETS
Graduation tickets will be distributed along with cap & gown sets beginning May 12. Detailed ticket policy & distribution plan.

Tickets can be requested for the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony levels, and seating is first-come, first-served within your ticketed section—no reservations can be made.

Lost or stolen tickets cannot be replaced; tickets should be stored in a safe place immediately after pick-up.

*The ticket lottery request form is now available. Please see the Detailed ticket policy & distribution plan to request additional tickets (links at the bottom). 

  • Each graduate is guaranteed to have at least 4 tickets available to them.
  • Students who are cleared to graduate & have completed the check-out process can also request 2 additional tickets at distribution, for a maximum of 6 tickets per graduate. The additional 2 tickets are only available until the lottery allocation begins (May 22).
  • We ask that you only request the number of tickets for the guests that you plan to have in attendance at the ceremony. 

(If you haven't yet reviewed our detailed graduation ticket distribution plan, please do so before filling out the lottery form). 

  • Graduates who intend to have 7 or more guests can enter the lottery that we use to allocate the remaining number of tickets after the initial distribution is complete.
  • Seniors must be cleared to graduate before the lottery takes place in order to be eligible for additional tickets.
  • The lottery is highly unlikely to yield more than 3 extra tickets per any one graduate, but the outcome could be just 1 or 2. 
  • Families who hope to bring a significantly larger number of guests should start networking to make arrangements with other graduates who do not plan to use the 6 tickets available to them at distribution.

Silva Concert Hall


ACCESSIBILITY
Please fill out this form for any accessibility needs or accommodation requests. You can visit The Hult Center or Performing Arts Accessibility page for more information on the facility and their services.

GRADUATION REHEARSAL
Graduation rehearsal will be held the morning of Monday, June 9th at 9:00am. Rehearsal is MANDATORY; there are no exceptions. Students must be present at rehearsal in order to participate in the evening ceremony. Rehearsal should be expected to last about an hour and a half, with performers & speakers staying at the end to rehearse their pieces.

Graduates have the afternoon to get ready, then must be back at the Hult Center to check in at The Studio by 6:00pm and get set for the class photo at 6:15pm. Please allow yourself plenty of time to find parking so that you can make it to check in on time.

GRADUATION PARTY
The Senior Graduation Party is not a school sponsored event. Organized by South parents in collabortation with Friends of South, a graduation party will be held on the night of graduation. The long-standing tradition provides a safe space for graduates to gather and celebrate for the final night as high school students.
