The Grad Party is a long-standing tradition providing seniors with a safe, sober, and fun graduation celebration. It is only possible because of the dedicated parent volunteers who put it together.
Why Would My Student Want to Attend?
One final celebration with their classmates! There will be a DJ rocking the latest hits, sprinkled with Karaoke, various activities such as the fan favorite Casino Night (various casino games and horse races), CASH WALK, Gymnasium Activities (basketball, dodgeball, pickleball), Rock Climbing, Hair Tinsel/Glitter Tattoos, Jousting Arena, Swimming Pool, and much more! Food and beverages are provided, such as DUTCH BROS, Papas Pizza, Nothing Bunt Cakes, etc... There will be CASH PRIZES throughout the night (last year over $6,000), plus 40+ Raffle Baskets and GRAND PRIZES to win! Past prizes include: TV's, Tablets, Smart Watches, e-Bikes, Scooters, Paddle Boards and amazing theme-inspired baskets like: Movie Night, Girls/Boys Dorm Essentials, Care Kits, Camping, etc... so the better question would be, Why Wouldn't My Student Attend?
How Do I Get Involved?
Volunteers are NEEDED! As mentioned, this event is put on solely by volunteers and paid for through fundraising and donations. We need as many people as we can get to help! It's not hard, or overly time consuming. Let's work together to have the most epic party and help our students celebrate their success!
Additionally, we are a 501c3 Non-Profit entity, operating through Lancer Legacy. Therefore, donations are tax-deductible. We accept cash, checks, and have a business Venmo for donations or fundraiser payments.

Senior year can be expensive: caps and gowns, graduation announcements, Prom, the grad party, and so much more. Don't let finances keep you from participating in all of your senior year activities. Financial assistance is available. Ask at the front office, your counselor, or any teacher or staff member. We can help.
