Wellesley High School Prepares For Graduation

Wellesley High School is a busy place today as administrators prepare for the final days of school for most students and graduation tomorrow for the seniors.

Outside the school, workers were busy trimming trees, cutting brush and trimming the grass at Hunnewel Field, where graduation will be held if the weather holds. 

The day has a good chance of sunny weather, according to the National Weather Service, with just a slight chance of showers before 11 a.m., then a chance of thunderstorms and showers until noon. After that, the forecast calls for cloudy skies with only a 20 percent chance of rain. 

Friday's an early release day at the school, with classes letting out at 11:30 a.m. Graduation rehearsal for students is set for 8 a.m., and the official ceremony begins at 5 p.m. at Hunnewell Field. In case of rain, the ceremonies will be held at Babson College, 231 Forest St.

Students are asked to arrive at 4 p.m., according to the June PTSO newsletter, and report to the upper gym. Parents are asked to park in designated lots (.pdf file is also posted with this article as an image) at High School satellite lots and at Wellesley Middle School, then proceed to the bleachers at Hunnewel Field. 

The Basketball Parking Lot is designated as Handicapped Parking (with placard) along the Baseball Fence side only. This lot will also be used as handicapped drop off. The other side of this lot is for faculty & staff parking.
