There were technical difficulties with the previous link. Here is the correct link to watch graduation. https://youtu.be/JZPlnU-Buyc

Graduation will be held at Memorial Stadium and begin promptly at 8pm. The gates will open at 7pm. When the home side reaches capacity, guests will be directed to the visitors’ entrance with their tickets. Guests must use the sidewalk to reach the visitors’ side. The track will be closed to the public. Everyone must have a ticket to enter.

El Dorado High School Graduation Ceremony will take place this evening at Memorial Stadium beginning at 8pm.  In the case of inclement weather, graduation will be held in the El Dorado High School Wildcat Arena at 8:30pm.  Graduation is a ticketed event. Each person attending graduation, regardless of age, must have a ticket. This includes a child that would sit on a lap. Each graduate received 5 tickets for the arena and 11 tickets for the stadium at graduation practice this morning. These tickets are separate and cannot be used interchangeably.  We are monitoring the weather closely and will decide at the appropriate time if moving locations is required. We are making every effort to host graduation as normally scheduled. If that is not possible, please remember the ceremony will be live-streamed.  To view the 2021 Graduation Ceremony, visit https://youtu.be/u4e4drYNmNk. Class of 2021, we are proud of your accomplishments over the last thirteen years, especially all you have overcome your senior year! We wish you the best on your next adventure!
