FAQ
For parents & community
What is Project Graduation?
Project Graduation is an all-night, lock-in party held on graduation night, exclusively for graduates, featuring entertainment, food, and prizes. It’s alcohol-free, drug-free, and run entirely by parent volunteers — a tradition that began nationwide in 1980.
How can I volunteer for the Project Graduation party?
Signing up is simple — the party volunteer sign-up link goes live on this website in March. Until then, the best way to get involved is to come to a committee meeting or help with a fundraiser.
Do only senior parents help with Project Graduation?
No! Project Graduation is a community event that requires over 100 volunteers to run smoothly. Parents, grandparents, family friends, and FHS alumni who graduated at least two years ago are all encouraged to volunteer. We especially welcome underclassmen parents — it’s a great way to learn the ropes before your student’s senior year, and senior parents are usually busy entertaining family on graduation night. When your student becomes a senior, you’ll appreciate the support of other parents.
If I can't work the party, are there other ways to help?
Absolutely. There are activities throughout the school year — fundraisers, planning committees, donations — and you choose how much or how little to take on. Every bit of help makes a difference. See ways to volunteer.
How can I donate to Project Graduation?
We welcome both sponsorships and prize donations, and because FHSPG is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, financial sponsorships are tax-deductible. Details are on the sponsors & donations page.
When are the committee meetings?
Roughly once a month through the school year — the full schedule is on the calendar. Every parent is welcome at every meeting.
FAQ
For seniors
Why should I go to Project Graduation?
Ever been on a cruise? Project Graduation is like a six-hour cruise — non-stop entertainment, food, and prize giveaways, celebrating as a class one final time. Every attendee walks away with prizes.
How do I buy my ticket?
Online through our payment page, or with cash or check in Student Services. See the tickets page for current details.
How do I get my "ticket"?
There’s no paper ticket — your admission is the official Project Graduation t-shirt, distributed during one of the practices the week of graduation. Wear it that night to get in.
What do I bring on the night?
One form of ID, such as a driver’s license. Leave non-essential items at home — and wear your PG t-shirt.
