Kealakehe High School's Class of 2014 Commencement Ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 24 at 6:00PM on the school's football field.
Each graduate was supplied with a total of six (6) tickets; two (2) for field level and four (4) for the bleachers. All attendees over the age of two (2) must have a ticket to sit in the parent section (field level). No family should occupy more than two (2) seats on the field level.
Gates for all ticket holders open at 4:30PM. At 5:30, tickets are no longer required for the bleachers. Tickets, however, are always required for the field section.
May I purchase more tickets?
Extra tickets are not for sale. Again, tickets are not required anytime after 5:30 for bleacher seating.
My son/daughter has lost his/her tickets. May I get replacement tickets?
Replacements for lost tickets are not available.
What is the parking situation?
Security and HPD will be on hand to direct parking. All parking is free and is on a first come, first served basis. Motorists are asked not to park on the curbs or sidewalks. Overflow parking will be around Puohulihuli St. and off Ane Keohokaole Hwy. All county traffic laws, including "No Parking" signs will be enforced.
I have a family member or friend who is disabled and requires special parking.
Any car that enters with a state issued handicap placard will be given the opportunity to park in the assigned handicap stalls. Families and friends who require these stalls are asked to arrive at the event early so the proper accommodations can be made.
What is the policy on pictures?
Attendees are asked not to crowd the area in front of the stage for pictures. Charla Photography will be on hand to take pictures of the event and these pictures will be available shortly after the event. Friends and families are allowed to take as many pictures as they like as long as they are behind the barriers (these barriers are placed relatively close to the stage).
After the ceremony, where will I be able to meet my son/daughter?
This year we are able to use the entire field for the distribution of leis. Giant signs with the first initial of your child's last name will be placed around the field. These areas will be blocked off until the end of the ceremony due to the pyrotechnic display.
What time does the ceremony end?
The ceremony should end at approximately 8:00PM.
How big is the graduating class?
We expect to walk around 280 students.
Who is this year's Keynote Speaker?
The Keynote Speaker for the Class of 2014 is Hawaii State Representative Nicole Lowen.
