Doors will open at 5:00 p.m. and commencement will begin promptly at 6 p.m. Friday, May 19. Parking will be limited, so it is recommended for students to arrive early and be in the Coliseum no later than 5 p.m. Graduates should park in the student parking lots or have parents drop them off in the breezeway before they park. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis on both the stadium home and visitors’ sides. Individual seats or sections of seats cannot be reserved or roped-off.
Graduation will be streamed live at: YouTube.com/LongviewISDLobos and Facebook.com/LongviewISD, from the opening procession of graduates into the stadium to the final triumphant throwing of the mortarboard caps.
