What is GRAD NIGHT?

ABOUT GRAD NIGHT:
Safe and Sober Grad Night is a parent sponsored event. The goal of the event is to provide a fun, safe, supervised and sober graduation celebration for all CVHS graduating seniors. We know that our seniors will want to celebrate with their friends on the night of their graduation. We want to make sure that celebration is spectacular....and safe!!

Grad Night is an all-night safe and sober party for graduates only. It follows the graduation ceremony. Grad Night start around 10:00PM and ends at 5:00AM. The event involves food, entertainment, prizes, a casino, dance floor, huge inflatable games and lots of fun...just to mention a few.

The top-secret theme changes every year, making Grad Night unique for each graduating class. Organized by the senior class parents of 5 local high schools, we literally transform Centre Concord to suit the theme of the night. Senior parents work hard for months to make this evening spectacular. Parents volunteer to work in several shifts throughout the night and into the morning. Planning begins a year in advance and work continues right up until Grad Night. It's a positive "send off" culminating the students' years at CVHS.

How spectacular our event will be, and what is offered is totally up to us - the senior parents. This event will NOT happen without the participation of the parents of the graduating CVHS Seniors and parents of underclassmen as well on the night of the big event.

WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT:
If one alcohol related arrest, injury or worse yet, death is prevented by this alcohol/drug free celebration then the extensive effort to plan and fund it will have been well worth it - both for our CVHS graduates and the community in general.

Unfortunate Facts (obtained from the M.A.D.D. website):
