Get Ready for Grad Knight 2020!

Bus sign-ups take place in April/May. You can sign up with your friends as long as you’re all registered. Following graduation, there will be a check-in table for each bus. Each table will display a large poster listing the names of those on the bus. The buses are organized by color, and you will be given a wristband that matches your bus color.

Please leave all personal belongings, including cell phones, wallets and purses at home or with a parent or guardian. Non-cell phone cameras are permitted if labeled with your name, but you are responsible for them. You will be asked to surrender any personal belongings (except cameras) at check-in. These will be returned to you at the end of the event. To ensure the safety of all graduates, no alcohol, drugs, weapons or cell phones are permitted. Graduates will be searched before boarding buses.

We’ve got you covered. There will be boxes in each venue’s bathrooms (male and female) that contain items such as combs, brushes, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, etc. There will be special boxes held by the chaperones for graduates who require medication during the course of the evening.
