GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (GRPS) -- Due to the forecasted weather, graduation ceremonies on Thursday, May 22, will be held indoors at the Ottawa Hills High School Gymnasium. Rain is expected during the morning rehearsals, and the evening will bring cool temperatures and gusty winds. We know that being inside will be much more comfortable for our graduates and guests.
The start times remain the same:
- 5pm: Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy
- 7pm: City High Middle School
See the map below for parking and entrance information.
Ottawa Hills High School is located at 2055 Rosewood Avenue SE. Parking will be available in the Sylvan Avenue parking lot near the main entrance and the Burton Street parking lot near the auditorium. Handicap parking will be available in the Rosewood Avenue parking lot near the gym. All guests will enter the school using the athletics entrance near the pool, which is labeled Door Q.
Ceremonies are also available to stream live at live.grps.org.
Please allow extra time for your arrival. Thank you for staying flexible as we navigate this week's forecast. We look forward to being together at Ottawa Hills High School to celebrate our scholars' incredible accomplishments!
