Nite In Hand

Supporting our Graduates since 1989!

Nite In Hand is a fun, safe, substance free evening of celebration for our graduates held on
graduation night, which is planned and funded entirely by parent, student, community, and local business contributions.

Although we are months away from hosting the actual event, there is much to do during the
school year to prepare. We are working very hard to make this a festive and memorable
experience for the Class of 2026, but we need your help.

This event cannot happen unless volunteers step up to make it a reality. Support for the event does not just come from parents of seniors; the whole community “pays it forward” to support our graduates and ensure a fun and safe event.

Thank you for your support!
