How to Post Your Free Graduation Announcement on Patch

Ames High School's graduation isn't until next weekend, but if you have a child graduating from either high school or college, you no doubt want to spread the news.

You're in luck. Patch can help you do that...for free.

Shout how proud you are to the world. Post a free announcement by click here. In the category drop down box (see photo), select "graduation." Enter the graduate's name, school and any other details you'd like to share.

Directly below the "description" box, you'll see an "Upload photos and videos" button. If you'd like your announcement featured on the home page, be sure to add a photo or video. Only announcements with photos or video will be featured on the home page.

Once you have filled in the information about your graduate and added a photo, look for the "Post My Announcement" button at the bottom of the page (see photo).

Once your announcement is posted, you can share the announcement with your friends and family by using the sharing tools located above the announcement (see photo). You can Tweet it, email it, post it to Facebook and follow any comments posted on the announcement.
