To commemorate this milestone, two photographers will take photos of each graduate. For your convenience, the ceremony photos will be viewable and downloadable, free of charge, at our Smug Mug Photo Gallery https://tasisdorado.smugmug.com/2021-2022/8thGrade-Graduation-Class-of-2026/ within five days after the ceremony.

Additionally, professional photographer Cecil Pedrosa will be taking official photos of each graduate, which can be purchased. If interested, please email Cecil Pedrosa at cecilphoto@yahoo.com.

To avoid congestion and to maintain decorum in the ceremony, we ask that family members refrain from approaching the stage when taking pictures.

Members of the audience are asked to remain in their seats throughout the ceremony so they do not disrupt the program or interfere with the special moments of others.

In order to enjoy the ceremony to its fullest, please turn off all electronic devices and refrain from leaving the theater until the ceremony has ended and our graduates have exited the theater.

When the Processional begins, please rise to welcome the 8th-grade class.

Remain standing until all the eighth-graders have reached their seats and during the performance of the National Anthems.

Thank you for your cooperation. We hope that you will enjoy the ceremony and celebrate the achievements of our students.
