What is Project Graduation?
Project Graduation is a supervised, alcohol-free, drug-free, all-night celebration that all seniors from Randolph High School are invited to attend. It is an event that is organized by the Project Graduation Committee of the RHS PTA, and has been a tradition in Randolph for more than 20 years. The goal of Project Graduation is to provide seniors with a safe way to celebrate their graduation. There are several activities planned to promote Project Graduation. In March, a breakfast for all seniors is held during class hours. In May, a picnic for all seniors takes place on the high school field during school hours. Parent volunteers serve the food and the event is free for seniors.
The main event of Project Graduation is the all-night party that is held on graduation night.
