8th grade promotion ceremony details 2025
I know it’s hard to believe, but the 8th grade promotion ceremony takes place in a few weeks.
To celebrate the promotion of our 8th grade students, we will be holding a promotion ceremony on Thursday, May 29th, 2024 at 5:30pm at Upper Arlington high school. The entrance to the performing arts center is through the main entrance of the school.
Upper Arlington Performing Arts Center
1625 Zollinger Rd.
Upper Arlington, OH 43221
Students may begin arriving as early as 4:30pm. Students who arrive after 5:25pm will not enter the auditorium with their class. They will be required to enter after the promoting students have walked in and sat down. Those parents/family members arriving after 5:30pm will not be permitted to enter until after all promoting students have entered the auditorium.
Tickets
Those students who are promoted to 9th grade who have met the minimum requirements to participate (promoting to 9th grade and no failing grades for 4th quarter) will be given 6 tickets each, which will be required for admission to the event. This includes infants/children, even if they do not sit in a separate seat. Tickets will be distributed to students on Tuesday, May 27th.
Attire
Promoting students may dress up for this event. Many students in the past have chosen to wear suits and/or fancy dresses or outfits. This event will be on a raised stage. Parents/students must be cognizant of skirt length, as those in the front will be looking up at the stage. *Clothing must be school appropriate*. Promoting students will not wear caps/gowns, which is reserved for 12th grade graduation.

*Absolutely no food or drink is permitted in the auditorium. Balloons are not permitted in the auditorium either. Balloons will be secured in the lobby. Please be respectful to the students and performers by silencing cell phones and not talking or disrupting during the performance.*
