All-Night Grad Party
What is the All Night Grad Party?
Each year the St. Joseph High School senior parents plan an all-night celebration that will immediately follow commencement. The after-graduation celebration allows students a safe environment to celebrate their graduation together.
When and where is the All Night Grad Party?
It begins right after graduation on Sunday, June 2nd. Students will board buses at the High School following commencement. Chartered buses will transport graduates to Chicago where they will begin their celebration at Dave and Busters with food, games and a hypnotist. From there, there they will be transported to Navy Pier where they will board a chartered moonlight cruise with food and dancing. (Please make sure graduates dress for the weather - outerwear recommended). Students will then be transported back to SJHS at approximately 6 am. We strongly suggest parents pick up their graduate since they will have been up all night.
What is included in the party?
Transportation to Dave and Busters, hypnotist, Moonlight Cruise, food and fun!
What is the cost?
The cost of the all-night party is $100 per graduate. This event is open to all 2019 SJPS graduating seniors. Scholarships are available to students in need.
Questions? Interested in helping out? Check out the High School blog for more information.
PLEASE NOTE!
