In case of inclement weather, the Harlingen School District is preparing for the possibility of an indoor graduation ceremony for Harlingen High School South’s Class of 2016.
The outdoor ceremony would be moved to the South Gymnasium and start at 7:30 p.m., just as the outside ceremony was set for. The district is monitoring the weather forecast and will make a decision at 5 p.m. Once made, it will not be reverted. Notification of the change will go out via communication channels including phone, email, social media and HCISD.org.
If moved inside, there is limited space available. Graduates will receive four tickets that will grant access to the gym where the event will be held and two tickets to allow entry into the cafeteria to view a live video stream of the ceremony.
Family and friends unable to attend can watch the live stream of the ceremony at www.hcisd.org/graduation2016.
SAN BENITO
The San Benito school district has a Plan B in case rain halts tonight’s graduation ceremony.
The ceremony is still planned for 7:30 p.m. tonight at Bobby Morrow Stadium.
San Benito High School Principal Henry Sanchez said if the weather worsens the graduation ceremony will move to Saturday morning at 9 a.m. at the stadium.
If by chance it is raining Saturday morning, the district is working on yet another alternative for holding the ceremony.
At this time, school officials say they are continuing to monitor the weather.
A live stream of the ceremony is available online beginning at 7:15 p.m. at http://www.sbcisd.net/2016/06/2016-sbhs-commencement-ceremony/
RIO HONDO
The Rio Hondo High School graduation ceremony is scheduled for Saturday at 8 p.m. at the football stadium.
In case of bad weather the ceremony will be moved to the high school gym. Each graduating senior has been given four tickets in case the ceremony is moved.
The district will decide by noon Saturday where the commencement will take place.
