    2023 HAHS Commencement Ceremony Safety Procedures

    • Gates will not open until 4:00 pm.  
    • Every person entering the ceremony area will pass through a safety checkpoint. 
    • Bag Policy will be in place. Bring in as few items as possible as all bags will be searched. Bag Policy may be found on the HASD Webpage. 
    • Diaper bags will be allowed for guests with infants and small children but will be searched.
    • Guests will be allowed to bring drinks and small food items.
    • There will be a baby stroller parking area outside the fence. Strollers will not be permitted within the fenced area. 
    • We ask that once individuals have entered through the fence, they remain until the ceremony has concluded. Otherwise, passage through the safety checkpoint once again will be mandatory. 
    • Handicap parking will be available. Members of security directing traffic will assist with the specific locations. 
    • Guests needing handicap parking are advised to arrive as early as possible as handicap parking is limited.
    • Vaping and tobacco products are prohibited on school grounds.
    • No alcohol or drugs are permitted on school property.
    • No weapons of any kind, including pocketknives.
       
    We ask all attending this year's Commencement Ceremony to please adhere to the procedures listed.  We implement these procedures for the safety of all involved. We thank you for your cooperation.
