Mid-May Graduation and Senior Celebration Updates

Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Hello OHS Class of 2024 Students and Families!

Our celebrations honoring the Oconomowoc High School Class of 2024 will kickoff next week with Cap and Gown Distribution. AH…graduation is getting real! Please refer to the following communications that were shared in mid-April regarding all the events planned to celebrate you and your classmates. It’s going to be a fun few weeks!


  • Letter from Mr. Curtis from Friday, April 12. (Click here)
  • The Class of 2024 Commencement and Celebration Webpage (Click here)

Both of these resources contain all the information you need to know about each celebration coming up over the next few weeks. This includes details about Celebrate Your Future Week, the Senior Send-Off Ceremony and community parades, graduation rehearsal, and the 2024 Commencement Ceremony! 

However, beyond all those details, I do want to highlight a couple of important reminders that will help you for planning purposes. Check them out below and let me know if you have any questions.

 

Watch Email and Social Media
We will send reminders and updates to students and families prior to each major event. We also encourage you to check social media and share all the events and celebrations with our community! 

Most events will be accessible through our live stream feed. Click here to bookmark the link to the live stream.

 

Reserved Accessible Seating at the Commencement Ceremony
We offer reserved seating for guests with limited mobility and who may not be able to climb the stairs of our bleachers. Please email Christine McCartney at McCartnC@oasd.org to make arrangements. It’s imperative that you make these arrangements as soon as possible. 

In general, seating in the stadium is on a first-come, first-served basis. Our gates open at 6:00 a.m. so that our team can set up. Families are welcome to begin reserving their seats at that time. However, we ask that you do not use duct tape on our new bleachers. 

Finally, the OAC will broadcast the livestream in case you, or a guest, would prefer to watch the ceremony from an air-conditioned facility. There are no reservations needed.


Decorating Your Cap
Students have the opportunity to decorate their caps to celebrate their chosen post-high school pathway or to honor a family, friend, or someone who has been influential in their education journey.

Designs must be approved by Mr. Curtis before Wednesday, June 5. To get your design approved, please send Mr. Curtis (curtisj@oasd.org)  an email with an outline, image or description of what you plan to put on your cap.

Start Downloading/Transferring Your Files!
Seniors must return their Chromebooks after exams on Thursday, June 6, or at graduation rehearsal on Friday, June 7. Graduates will have their OHS email and access to all Google files shut off on Friday, June 28. Students should click here for information on how to transfer their files to a personal account.
