The community is invited to the Los Gatos High School Grad Night and Senior Museum walk-thru on Friday, June 3rd. The Grad Night celebration event space will be open to the public from 4:00pm to 8:30pm, and the Senior Museum until 9:00pm. For more than 30 years Grad Night has been planned and run by the parents of the senior class to ensure a safe, sober evening for their children after graduation. Hundreds of parents transform the school’s gyms and parking lots for the all night celebration. The theme is always kept under wraps until the last minute. The self guided tours are for adults and children 5th grade and younger. Middle school and high school students are invited to tour the Senior Museum but not the Grad Night areas. We look forward to hosting you!
