Terrell High School will host a mandatory graduation practice with seniors on Thursday, May 29 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM at Memorial Stadium to review graduation ceremony procedures including arrival times, ceremony sequence and dismissal information. Students will not be allowed to wear heels at the rehearsal nor at the graduation ceremony. Flats or wedges are required.

Please be advised, any cars left in the stadium parking lot after 8 :00 PM on Thursday, May 29 (once graduation rehearsal is complete) will be towed.

Students
Students will report to Terrell High School at 7:00 AM and will be bussed over to Memorial Stadium at 8 AM. Students may not "meet us at the stadium." Students are encouraged to eat a meal prior to arriving at the high school. After the graduation ceremony ends, students may leave with their parents/family members and return to Terrell High School to pick up their vehicle.

As a reminder, students will not be allowed to wear high heels at graduation. Only flats or wedges will be allowed on the stadium turf.  

Staff Members:
Staff members assisting with graduation are asked to report at Terrell High School by 6:45 AM to be ready to greet students as they arrive. Staff will be bussed to the stadium with students and staff ONLY will be bussed back to the high school after graduation to return to their vehicles.

The stadium will open to the public at 8:00 AM. Guests may enter the stadium at the home side AND the visitor's side entrance.  Tickets are not required for entrance.  At no time - before, during or after the ceremony will parents and family members be allowed on the turf to take photos.

Terrell ISD is not limiting the number of guests that may attend graduation at Memorial Stadium. Guests may sit anywhere within the seating area and will NOT need a ticket for entrance.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all graduation attendees, the following guidelines and policies will be in place (failure to follow these guidelines may result in immediate removal from the graduation venue): 

• All guests will pass through metal detectors

• No outside food or open containers will be permitted.

• All bags must be clear to ensure the safety and security of our guests.

• If you bring a bag that is not clear, you will be asked to return your bag to your vehicle.

• If a guest requires a diaper bag for their child, the diaper bag will be screened prior to admittance. Please be prepared to wait in line to have your bag checked.

• Tailgating is not permitted.

• Guests may not walk onto the stadium turf at any time - before, during or after graduation. 

Photographers will be on-site to take photos.  A photo will be taken as the graduate receives his/her diploma and again once he/she exits the stage. The photos will be posted on the Terrell ISD Facebook page approximately one week after graduation.

At no time will parents be allowed onto the turf to take photos with their graduating seniors.

Graduates will participate in a recessional and will exit the field near the scoreboard where families can meet them. At no time - before, during or after the ceremony - will parents and family members be allowed on the turf to take photos. Graduates are released from the stadium following the recessional and will not be bussed back to the high school.

Should bad weather occur on Friday, May 30, graduation will be delayed by two hours. Every attempt will be made to graduate on Friday - whether day or evening. If the weather is not permissible at all during the day or evening, graduation will be held on Saturday, May 31 at 9 AM at Memorial Stadium. If 9 AM is not permissible, graduation will be held at 7:30 PM on Saturday, May 31 at Memorial Stadium.
