Senior Grad nite Guide

Grad Nite is an annual tradition in California, which gives high school graduates a fun-filled night to remember before officially graduating. Usually taking place at theme parks such as Disneyland, Six Flags, Universal Studios, etc. Ms. Figueroa, a previous chaperone for grad nite events states 

“It’s not really about the place it’s in, but it’s more about enjoying those moments with your friends before graduating.”

This year’s grad nite will be taking place at Disneyland theme park, which is somewhat recent because a couple years ago Grad Nite was hosted at universal studios, magic mountain, and boomers to name a few places.
