Commencement is scheduled for Friday, May 10, 2024, at 10 a.m. We will be holding Graduation at the CaroMont Health Park at 800 W. Franklin Blvd in Gastonia. Please plan to arrive by 9 a.m. to get lined up for the ceremony.

  1. Please make sure you and your guests park in a legal parking space/area. There is a large parking lot directly behind the stadium, there is a church directly across the street, Loray Mills is just a short distance past the ballpark and the YMCA is close to the stadium. These should be the preferred parking locations. Some businesses near the park have signs posted advising that you can’t park in their lots. If you park in any of these restricted areas, your car will be booted or towed and you will be responsible for the bill
  2. All graduates must enter through the gate located near the flag poles.  If you go to one of the front gates, you will be directed to the graduate entrance gate. 

Guest Tickets 

Tickets are not needed for guests.
