Good morning. Due to high winds and the potential of inclement weather, the Pekin Community High School Commencement Ceremony will be held in Hawkins Gymnasium at 2pm this afternoon. Doors will open for the ceremony at 1pm. Graduates will be allowed to enter through the canopy entrance at the top of the hill. The Pillar doors and Dragon Hill Drive doors will be open to enter with a ticket. Everyone must have a ticket to enter. Parking will be available in the front of the school and in the Arena parking lot. Faculty and Handicapped Parking will be available in the South Lot. It can be accessed via Court St across from Taco Bell. The first row of bleachers will also be reserved for limited mobility seating.
Graduates please remember you need to be at the school by 1:30 pm and report to the G100 hallway to line up as practiced. We will recess out to the cafeteria following the ceremony.

PCHS will make every effort to hold graduation outside this Sunday, May 19th. The decision of where graduation will take place will be made at 10am on Sunday morning, and we will then communicate that out via our social media platforms.
In the event that we move indoors, we are making additional arrangements to accommodate people’s families. We will be giving each graduate an additional 2 tickets today at graduation practice for use on Sunday. These tickets will be given directly to the graduates and do not need to be picked up at the school. A reminder that seating will be tight so we ask for your patience and understanding as we try to facilitate more seating. Tickets are not needed for children 4 and under. Doors will open at 1:00pm and the saving of seats will not be allowed.
As a reminder, no matter where the ceremony is held, live streaming of the ceremony can be found on our Facebook page (Pekin Community High School District 303) for those who cannot attend the ceremony in person.
Congratulations to the Class of 2019!
