Canyon Crest Academy Grad Nite
Our Once-in-a-Lifetime, Spectacular, On-Campus Graduation Party for CCA Seniors!
** Friday, May 30, 2025 **
Starts at 9:00 p.m. Friday; Ends at 2:00 a.m. Saturday
Grad Nite is a party held on the CCA campus where all graduating seniors are invited to celebrate graduation with their classmates. This all-volunteer, parent-driven effort provides a safe and sober environment where seniors can relax and celebrate the night of their high school graduation. They feel at home on campus with their CCA family. Our committee brings in tons of entertainment and food. We transform the campus. There really is NO better Grad Party in the District!
All parents are invited to volunteer- see below.
No online registrations after 5/16/2025
Grad Nite is NOT a part of Senior Week Passport and is NOT included in the cost of any other Senior/Grad event.
Grad Nite is a separate event which requires a separate ticket.
If your student qualifies for financial assistance, please contact Ms. Castellanos (in the Assistant Principal's office).
Not sure if your Senior has a ticket for Grad Nite already?

Grad Nite is planned, executed and staffed by parent volunteers. It takes many hands to make Grad Nite a success! This is an all community, volunteer opportunity.
Senior Parents - We need you to volunteer for Grad Nite! More than 80% of seniors typically attend. Volunteer with your friends and celebrate together! We can always find a job for you even if your student says "NO". You can work behind the scenes or at clean up. Tell your senior that your participation is vital to continuing our amazing CCA Grad Nite tradition.
Freshman, Sophomore & Junior Parents - Join or Co-Chair a Grad Nite Committee! We need you for Grad Nite!! Parents of seniors are attending graduation on event day and often have family in town. We need extra help Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during the last week of school.
