Graduation<\/span> Day is Friday, June 5th at 5:00pm, Rain or Shine<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If Shine<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ceremony takes place on Hunnewell Field located across from Wellesley High School, 50 Rice Street, Wellesley, MA.\u00a0 There is plenty of room on the bleachers (both sides) to accommodate hundreds of people, and all are welcome to attend.\u00a0 If you have a family member unable to climb the stairs of the bleachers, please call your student’s house office and speak to the house secretary, as we have a section of chairs on the field reserved for those who need accommodations.<\/p>\n

The ceremony takes approximately 2 hours from start to finish.<\/p>\n

If Rain<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If the weather is inclement, WHS will decide on the morning of Friday, June 5th, whether to move the graduation ceremony indoors. Class of 2026 parents and students will be notified via ParentSquare email, and alerts will be posted on the WHS Graduation website as well as through WHS social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Grad Images will be onsite as the official photographer to capture the shot of your student receiving their diploma.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wellesley Cablevision will be filming the entire event, airing it on their cable station throughout the month of June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thank You, and Go Raiders!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>
