Hello, Charger Families,

This is Dr. Walston with an important graduation update.

Due to severe thunderstorms predicted in our area between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., we are moving our graduation ceremony indoors. I have made this decision out of an abundance of caution for our graduates and guests. The ceremony will still begin at 7:00 p.m., with doors to the school opening at 5:00 p.m. Please take note of the following:

  • Graduates have six tickets for admission into our gym. No one will be permitted inside the school without a ticket in hand at our gate.

  • All guests will enter via the front lobby of Northwood High School.

  • We expect a full capacity crowd. No backrests or seat cushions will be permitted in the gym.

  • We plan to reserve the bottom rows for individuals in wheelchairs and with physical limitations.

  • Handicap parking remains behind the school. You may drop individuals off in front of the gym prior to parking.

  • The graduation will be livestreamed. You can find the link to the livestream on the district’s website, social media platforms and on YouTube @ChathamCountySchools https://youtube.com/live/80D5PW0qC6M?feature=share

Students, please plan to be here by 6:00 p.m. and meet in the auditorium.

We look forward to celebrating the graduating class of 2024 this evening!
