NOTE - no one is expected to pay for their gown as a condition to participate in graduation.  Grad gowns can be borrowed from the school if a student does not wish to purchase, but many students do purchase theirs as a keepsake.  Contact Jostens at 800-JOSTENS (567-8367) or contact the Gunn HS rep at [email protected] if you want more information on borrowing a gown or if you only wish to purchase a cap/ tassel.

Graduation Rehearsal:  Wednesday, 6/3/26
Graduation rehearsal will be from 2 - 3:45pm.  Seniors should meet at Spangenberg Theater at 2pm for instructions and staging.  Safety rules will be enforced - please listen to and follow all instructions at rehearsal.
​Graduation Ceremony:  Thursday, 6/4/2026 at 5pm on the Football Athletic Field.
  • Seniors report to Spangenberg at 4:30pm for staging prior to the event - do not be late!
​Graduation will be on the Football Athletic Field.  Field gates will open at 3:45pm for general seating.  You may not reserve seats on the field.  

All Graduating Seniors will meet in Spangenberg Theater on graduation day for final instructions before the ceremony.  Attire for graduates is dressy casual with cap, tassel and gown zipped up.  Be on time as the start of the ceremony will not be held for late arrivals.
  • NO BAGS will be allowed in Spangenberg or on the field - please leave bags in cars or with family members.  You may bring a water bottle and phone/camera.
  • Please - To ensure a positive experience for all attendees, we kindly ask that everyone refrain from bringing balloons, signs, banners, or flags to the ceremony. These items can obstruct the view of others and detract from the shared experience we want all families to enjoy.
  • Also, out of respect for the graduates, speakers and families, do not bring airhorns or other noisemakers.  Thank you for helping us keep the focus on our graduates and maintaining a clear line of sight for every guest.
  • For those who cannot attend in person, the ceremony will be recorded and posted later - stay tuned for details.

​Grad Images will be at Graduation to capture your images during the ceremony.  Don’t forget to Pre-Register at gradimages.com/preregistration prior to the event to share your photos with loved ones and to receive 20% off your photo order of $50 of more!
​
Graduation Parking is VERY limited on campus, so plan accordingly - we encourage families to walk, bike, carpool or take an Uber, Lyft or Palo Alto Link.
  • Parking for families with disabled or elderly members will be on the Miranda Street side of the school beginning approximately at 3:30pm, where there will be a shuttle to the field for those who need additional assistance
  • Families can continue to drop off family members who need shuttle assistance to the field once the lot is full.
  • Additional parking has been available at Fletcher Middle School in previous years - check with the Main Office in May for current information.
