2026 High School Graduation Update

Dear High School Families,

We want to share an important update regarding our plans for high school graduation in 2026.

Recently, we learned that the University of Minnesota’s Mariucci Arena will no longer be hosting high school graduation ceremonies. Because of this change, South Washington County Schools explored several alternative venues that could provide an exceptional experience for our students and families.

After researching and contacting multiple venues, we are pleased to share that the graduations for the Class of 2026 at East Ridge, Park and Woodbury high schools will be held at TCO Performance Center in Eagan. Please note that the date of our graduation ceremonies also changed, and will be held on Friday, June 5.

• East Ridge High School’s graduation ceremony will take place at 11 a.m., Friday, June 5 at the TCO Performance Center in Eagan
• Park High School’s graduation ceremony will take place at 3 p.m., Friday, June 5 at the TCO Performance Center in Eagan.
• Woodbury High School’s graduation ceremony will take place at 7 p.m., Friday, June 5 at the TCO Performance Center in Eagan.

More detailed information about logistics will be shared as graduation approaches.

Our goal remains the same, to provide a meaningful, joyful and memorable celebration honoring the accomplishments of the Class of 2026. We look forward to celebrating this important milestone with you.
