Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Project Grad?

    Project Grad is a parent planned and run event to ensure that Senior students spend their graduation night in a safe and fun environment where their hard work and dedication to their education can be celebrated.

  • Why is Project Grad important?

    According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, traffic collisions are the number one killer of teenagers in America. Nationally about 5,000 teens will die in automobile collisions and about ten percent of those deaths are in California alone.  Our goal is to have all of our senior students spend their graduation night in a safe and alcohol/drug-free environment. Project Grad succeeds because it is so much fun that our teens would rather come to the Grad party than go to other parties where alcohol & drugs are prevalent. 

  • How do I get involved?

  • What will my student be doing all night?

    The fun starts at 9:30 pm and continues until 3:30 am.  There is plenty of entertainment for everyone including; rock wall climbing, zip lining, pillow bash fun, hypnotist, balloonist, caricaturist, face painting, photo booths, casino games, prizes, DJ music, dancing, Henna art, hair salon and much, much more.

  • How does my senior get to Project Grad?

    We HIGHLY recommend that senior students be dropped off and picked up.  In the past, parents have carpooled to make drop off and pick up more efficient.  Students are usually very tired at the end of a long graduation day and Grad Night.  Driving home from the event is not recommended.

  • Who will be supervising my senior student?

    Parent volunteers will be supervising students inside and outside the venue.  Security Volunteers will be patrolling the High School venue and parking lot to ensure student safety when coming and going.

  • What if my graduate becomes ill?

    There is a rest area for those that need a power nap.  Students can rest in chairs and/or bean bags and watch a movie or sleep.  There is also a medical first aid area if they feel ill.  If a student needs to go home, their parents are called and only THEIR PARENTS MAY PICK THEM UP even if they are 18.  Should the student choose to leave and is not ill, they will forfeit the Grad Night prizes they have won and will not be eligible for the Grand Prize drawing at 3:30 am.

  • Why can't my student bring a purse or backpack to the event?

    To ensure that the event remains a Safe and Sober  Grad Night, purses, jackets and/or backpacks will be checked in upon arrival.  Lockers are available. A First Aid booth with be provided.
