Requirements for Participation in Graduation Ceremony
Students who need more than 1 unit (2 credits) for graduation shall NOT be permitted to participate in graduation exercises. This includes the current courses in which the student is enrolled. BAHS ineligibility report on the first Thursday of May will be used to determine if a student is currently passing all required courses to meet the graduation ceremony participation requirements of 1 unit (2 credits) remaining.
Appropriate Dress for Graduates
Please refer to the Graduation Dress Code and Regalia Standards webpage for detailed information.
Parking for Graduates
Graduates may park at Vanguard Academy and take a shuttle to the stadium. This is highly encouraged, as there will be a great deal of traffic on the BAHS campus after the ceremony. Parking at Vanguard and using the shuttle services will help graduates exit in a more timely manner, so they have time to go home before returning for Project Graduation.
Parking for Families
Graduation Photography by Candid Color
Candid Color Photography will be capturing professional photos during the graduation ceremony.
Students who had their photo taken in the Student Union are already pre-registered. Those who did not participate on those dates should register here to ensure graduation photos are delivered directly via email or phone.
Important: A clear selfie must be uploaded by midnight on May 15. This image will be used solely for facial recognition to help identify and match photos taken during the ceremony for delivery.
