Graduation Information (Eighth Grade Parents Only)
We are excited to celebrate our students, staff, and parents on May 25 at 10:30 a.m. in the Indian Hill High School (HHS) Gymnasium.
As your family prepares for graduation, we ask that you keep in mind the following details:

  • Please plan on arriving between 10:00 - 10:25 a.m. Our ceremony will start promptly at 10:30 a.m. in the IHHS Gymnasium. Parents should enter the building through IHHS's Main Entrance.

  • Parking will be available in the IHHS lot, with overflow parking available in the bus lot adjacent.

  • Historically, our students have worn formal and/or business attire (collared, button-down shirts; sport coat or jacket, dresses, etc.). Due to the stairs and stage (and sometimes the nerves associated with that!), we recommend students wear flat or small heels. Students may wear whatever their family decides. We want our students' attire to help them feel confident and proud as they celebrate this special occasion! If you need assistance with the attire, please contact a middle school counselor: Mrs. Tarra Braunscheidel or Mr. Nick Carpenter.
