Commencement ceremonies are underway, and high school seniors will soon celebrate a major milestone as thousands of students walk the stage and accept their diplomas.
Graduations for many El Paso-area school districts begin in late May and continue into June. While most commencement ceremonies will be held at the Don Haskins Center, others are taking place at the Abraham Chavez Theatre, and the Socorro Independent School District is having a few graduations at the Student Activities Complex.
There are some general rules for commencement ceremonies, specifically at the Don Haskins Center. Prohibited items include noisemakers, helium balloons, outside food or drink, glass containers, and professional cameras. Find a full list here. UTEP also has a clear bag policy.
Here are the dates that graduates should know.
