Each graduate will receive 13 tickets for family members and invited guests. Students will receive their tickets on May 18, 2026 at the Graduation Prep Day at Crandall High School. Students who need additional tickets are encouraged to ask their friends who may have extra tickets.  Tickets are not available to replace any that may be lost.  For safety purposes, no one will be admitted into Commencement without a ticket.  No one but the graduate may pick up caps, gowns, and tickets. Seniors must have all records cleared, including food service, technology, library, etc.  Students must also be in dress code to pick up caps, gowns, and tickets.  Records must be cleared with money orders or cash (no checks), except for technology,  which is paid through RevTrak.
