Rain Will Not Stop Dixon High Graduation Ceremony

Dixon High School's Class of 2011 will walk the stage at the school's stadium, rain or shine

Calls have been coming into all morning about the possiblity that rain will put a damper on Saturday's graduation ceremony. The school has been responding to concerned parents and telling them that the graduation will take place rain or shine.

A 60 percent chance of rain is forecast for Saturday.

The school's only other option in the event of rain was to have the ceremony inside its gymnasium, but the school's gym is being utlized for that evening's festivities. The school has no other option but to hold the 9 a.m., ceremony where it has been originally scheduled.
 
"I am not aware of another venue that is available and that can fit close to 2,500 people for a graduation," Chaidez said. "At this point we plan on keeping graduation here at DHS on our stadium and hoping for no rain from 9am – 11 a.m., after 11 a.m., it can rain all mother nature wants.  Bring your umbrella."
