Grad Night 2026 – Tickets on Sale Now!

Bulldog Graduation Party 2026

The Ultimate Senior Send-Off!

Class of 2026: Your journey at Garfield is coming to a close—let’s go out with a bang! The Garfield PTSA is proud to host the annual Bulldog All Night Graduation Party on June 16, 2026. The event is a legendary, safe, and sober “mystery” celebration. It’s one final night for the entire class to celebrate together before heading off on their next adventures. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/2026-garfield-grad-night

The Adventure

The celebration begins later in the evening on graduation day. This gives families time to enjoy a post-ceremony meal or take photos before the late-night fun begins!

• • When: Tuesday night, June 16, 2026

• • Loading: Arrive at 8:30pm. Buses will begin loading in the Garfield High School Parking Lot at 9:00 PM.

• • The Mystery: Seniors board luxury charter buses to two separate secret venues. You won’t know where you’re going until the doors open!

• • Food: Students will receive a late night dinner and light breakfast as part of their ticket. Email gradnight@garfieldptsa.org if your student has special dietary needs.

• The Return: Exhausted but full of memories, Bulldogs will be dropped back at GHS between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM the next morning. A Note on Connection: To ensure students are fully present with one another, cell phones are safely stored during the event. Parents will be provided with emergency contact numbers for the duration of the night.

  Attendance & Group Policy

  ALL seniors are encouraged to attend this event. To ensure a safe, sober, and cohesive experience for the entire class, please note the following strictly enforced policies:
  • No Guests: This event is exclusively for GHS Class of 2026 seniors (and chaperones).
  • Group Travel Only: Students must travel with the group via bus for the entire night.
  • No Late Entry or Early Departure: Students are not allowed to join the event partway through or meet the group at venues. Additionally, students are not permitted to leave the event early; everyone stays together until the buses return to Garfield in the morning.

  Registration & Community Pricing

  Our goal is 100% participation. The full standard ticket price covers part of the cost of the party venue and food while Garfield PTSA subsidizes transportation and other costs. Thanks to PTSA subsidies and community generosity, we offer a sliding scale to ensure every Bulldog can attend.
  • Standard Ticket: $220 – This option makes Grad Night possible for all. Please use it if your family is able.
  • Reduced Ticket: $120 – Use this if full price is a burden to your family.
  • Free/Reduced Lunch Rate: $40 – Students who qualify for Free/Reduced Lunch may opt for this ticket price. Please reach out to Mr. Rees or Ms. Sloan for a discount registration code or other scholarship options.
  Pay It Forward: You can choose to Sponsor another Senior during checkout. 100% of your donation goes toward a scholarship for a classmate who otherwise couldn’t attend and reduces PTSA subsidies for this event.

  Join the Village: We Need You!

  It takes a village to pull off Grad Night! Please consider volunteering in one of the following roles for the night of the event. To volunteer, SIGN UP HERE, or questions can be sent to gradnight@garfieldptsa.org.
  • • Chaperones (Night of Event): We need 20 chaperones to ride the buses, attend the party, and stay up all night to create a safe, fun night for our Garfield graduates! Food is provided during the event. Traditionally, this is a “pay-it-forward” activity for the parents of non-seniors (unless your senior is totally fine with you being at the party).
    • Bus-Loading Volunteers (9:00 PM at GHS): Help us get the kids checked in, collect phones and pack buses. This is a great option for senior parents and guardians, as the commitment ends as soon as the buses are loaded.
