Class of 2023 Graduation Ticket Distribution Plan

  • Why San Jose State University Event Center?

Pre-COVID-19, our school would graduate at the event center. The venue is large enough to host us as many of our parents, and community members attend our students' graduation. The date and time selected are based on the availability of the venue.

  • All Class of 2023 graduates MUST REQUEST two (2) complimentary tickets.  Seniors can go to the bank to request these two (2) tickets.  PLEASE BRING YOUR ID with you to the bank.

  • From January 23rd to April 28th, any eligible graduate (any Senior who is not currently identified as a non-graduate) can pay for up to five (5) additional tickets.  Tickets are $15 each.  PLEASE BRING YOUR ID. Checks are made out to ESUHSD.

  • Any Senior identified as a non-graduate after May 22 will receive a refund for any previously purchased tickets by the end of June.  Checks will be mailed home. 

  • These tickets from the new list of non-graduates will go back into circulation for redistribution.  
  • In order to purchase(receive) tickets, students must have:
  • returned all textbooks, library books, team equipment, and school equipment,
  • paid all fines

  • After April 28th all unclaimed tickets will go back into circulation. May 1st - May 12th, if tickets are still available, all eligible graduates can purchase two (2) additional tickets at the School Bank till sold out.  

  • On May 25th, Class of 2023 Graduation tickets will be distributed during the tutorial period and after school till 5 pm. Students will sign for their tickets at this time and must show their ID.

  • If a student is absent, they can pick up their tickets in the School Bank during Break, or Lunch on May 26th.
