Pre-Commencement Celebration

 Saturday, June 14 at 10:00 AM

Timberlake Church, Redmond, WA

The Pre-Commencement Celebration, formerly known as Convocation and sponsored by EHS PTSA, brings the graduating class together to reflect on their personal growth and hard work. Students and their families are invited to attend this non-religious program that includes student and staff speakers, videos, musical performances, and the beloved senior slideshow.

Seating is limited so we ask that you limit your group to five people or less (not counting your senior).

RSVP for this event HERE.

Senior Slideshow

It is a long-standing tradition at Eastlake to have a senior slideshow at the Pre-Commencement Celebration. Each senior is featured on a slide showing an old photo (baby, toddler, or first day of school) alongside a current senior photo. We love to see just how far our students have come!

Grad Walks

 Monday, June 16

Participating schools will reach out directly to their former students.

Grad walks are held at participating elementary or middle schools. Seniors are invited to visit their old school and go back to where it all began. Their former teachers and the younger students cheer them on while they parade through the school in their caps and gowns. It is a fun tradition that inspires the younger students and celebrates the senior class. 

Graduation Yard Signs

Yard signs are available NOW from Mail-Post in Sammamish.

(Mail-Post is located near MOD Pizza in the Safeway shopping center by EHS.)

Senior Breakfast

Monday, June 16

Senior Breakfast, sponsored by the EHS PTSA, is served at school just before graduation rehearsal in June. This is a seniors-only event. 

Grad Night

Tuesday, June 16 - Wednesday, June 18

Grad Night is Eastlake's traditional senior send-off event on the night of graduation. This all-night celebration for the senior class is sponsored and organized by the Eastlake High School PTSA. Graduates board buses and visit two private event venues in the Seattle area for a night of fun entertainment and activities. It is the perfect way to provide a safe and secure environment for one last get-together with classmates. It is a great night out for the senior class! Reserve your senior's spot by purchasing their ticket HERE.
