Graduation Dates for Class of 2019

Here are the tentative dates for graduation for the class of 2019:

Bellingham High School: 6:30 p.m. Friday, June 7 at Bellingham High School
Squalicum High School: 11 a.m. Saturday, June 8 at Squalicum High School

Graduation dates/times could change if school is canceled for any unforeseen circumstance, such as a snow day. A final decision to determine graduation dates will be made no later than Feb. 28, 2019.

The last day for seniors is tentatively June 7, 2019. We do not recommend that staff or families make travel plans or other arrangements before February 28, because if the school year gets extended, then our graduation ceremonies would likely be the following week. Under this scenario, the last day for seniors could change. Graduation rehearsal date/times and the number of tickets available for each graduate will be determined by school. Please note that the last day of school for non-senior students is June 14.
