Important Grad Nite Information for Seniors

Our Once-in-a-Lifetime, Spectacular, On-Campus Graduation Party for CCA Seniors!

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.  

In order to make Grad Nite a success, all participants must follow these guidelines:

1. CCA Grad Nite is held on the CCA Campus.  It begins at 9:00 pm Friday (graduation night) and ends at 2:00 am on Saturday.

2. Students must be eligible to graduate (walk) on Graduation Day to attend Grad Nite.

3. Once admitted to Grad Nite, students cannot leave until 2:00 am. Student pick-Up begins at 2:00 am, Saturday. Students will not be permitted to leave before the end of the event without being signed out, in person, by a parent or legal guardian, regardless of the age of the student.  Students must be picked up at this time by a responsible adult. No student will leave unless picked up by a licensed driver 21 years or older. Proof of driver’s age may be required. Carpooling is encouraged! Look at the Check-out procedure to familiarize yourself with the process. Students are not allowed to leave using any Carsharing rides such as Uber, Lyft, etc.

4. Graduates may not drive themselves or others to or from CCA campus for this event. Students should be dropped-off at the CCA Student Parking Lot, Friday between 9:00 pm and 10:30 pm.

5. If a student is registered for this Event and has not checked in by 10:30 pm, the parent/guardian will be notified the student has not arrived.

6. NO drugs, alcohol or vaping at the Event or before the Event.  As with any school event, there is a ZERO tolerance policy.  Parents will be called to pick up their students immediately if the student is found to be under the influence or in possession. In the event that a parent cannot be reached, the graduate will be separated from the other attendees until 2:00 am. 

7. You will need a PICTURE ID to check in -- TAKE a clear picture of it on your phone and use that, otherwise bring your Senior Passport or Student ID.
