AISD to Hold Outdoor, Socially Distanced Graduation Ceremonies

Austin ISD is committed to celebrating the graduating class of 2021 in the safest possible way through outdoor, socially distanced graduation ceremonies. 

In-person high school graduation ceremonies will be May 28–June 3 at one of three AISD outdoor stadiums—Toney Burger Athletic Center, House Park, or Nelson Field. Rosedale School will be the exception, as students will be celebrated during a ceremony on campus on May 28.

Students, families, and staff who attend graduation in person will follow safety protocols that include masking, temperature checks, and distancing. Staff members will be on-site providing direction.

Each graduate is allowed eight guests from the same household to attend the ceremonies, which will include a combination of live and pre-recorded content. Graduates will walk in the traditional processional and be seated on the field six feet apart.

The ceremonies will be livestreamed on AISD.TV, cable channel 22, or Facebook Live.

AISD is planning for these events based on current public health guidance. If local or state ordinances change, the district will modify its plans accordingly. Please continue to check the website as AISD will continue to provide updates.
