Graduation Events and Information

When is Graduation?

Details coming soon.

What is the Pre-Commencement Celebration?

Saturday, June 7, 2025

The Pre-Commencement Celebration, formerly known as Convocation, 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. Please email celebration@ehsptsa.org for more information. 

What is the 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 (such as a baby, toddler, or first day of school photo) alongside a current senior photo. We love to see just how far our students have come!   

What is a Grad Walk?

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. Former teachers welcome them back and young students cheer them on as they parade through the school in their caps and gowns. It is a fun tradition that kicks off the start of graduation festivities.

Details coming in the spring!

When is the Senior Breakfast?

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

What is Grad Night?

Grad Night is Eastlake's traditional senior send-off event and takes place 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 charter 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!
