Fife High School Community,

We are thrilled to report that we have a new graduation date and venue. Graduation for the Class of 2021 is now scheduled for the Puyallup Fairgrounds on Tuesday, June 15, 2021, 6:30PM. 

When our original venue, the Showare Center in Kent, cancelled their facility as a graduation venue, we wanted to find a local outdoor site that holds a lot of people to give us the best shot of having a traditional graduation ceremony with the most people as possible attending under state COVID protocols.

For an event like graduation, Phase 3 allows seating for "up to 25% of an outdoor venue's regular capacity or up to 9,000, whichever is less." As a result of this mandate and based on the fairgrounds seating capacity, each graduating senior student will be provided a set amount of tickets for guests to coincide with seating restrictions. The number of tickets for each senior is still being finalized, but we estimate it will be around 4 tickets per graduating senior. The state will be revisiting phasing seating capacities on April 15th. More details to come as we continue to monitor health guidelines in conjunction with the health department and the fairgrounds.

The governor's announcement last week has given us reason to be hopeful that a traditional ceremony in some degree will be possible, assuming trends continue to go the right direction and we get to, and stay, in Phase 3!
