The Party is ON! - Santa Rosa High School Project Grad is excited to announce that we will host our full-blown Safe and Sober graduation party for all Class of 2023 Seniors. The party will open immediately after graduation and will finish at 3 am. The Project Grad team is purchasing thousands of dollars in prizes, reserving entertainers and food and drink vendors, and planning a special event for your 2023 seniors. Please look for more information, but here are some essential points to remember. We aim to keep your child safe on graduation night by providing an engaging and memorable event. Your child will not be able to leave the event early, and we don’t think they will want to with the plans we have in place.

The party will start immediately after graduation (June 2, 8:00 PM to 3:00 AM) on the SRHS campus. Please remember this as you think about family activities on graduation day. Students will not be allowed to enter after 10 pm. Registration packets will be required with ticket purchases (also on the ProjectGrad website).
