Bartlesville High School's Graduation Ceremony is slated to begin at 8 tonight, but with the possibility of thunderstorms in the forecast, school officials have made arrangements for an indoor commencement ceremony if needed.

Graduation will be held in Custer Stadium if all goes well, but in the event of rain or thunderstorms the ceremony will be relocated to the Bruin Field House.

Graduating seniors have already received tickets to administer to their friends and family members. Each student has a limited number of tickets, however, and those that don't receive tickets will still be able to watch the ceremony, albeit from the Bartlesville High School Fine Arts Center.

Those who go to the Fine Arts Center will watch a live stream of the graduation ceremony projected on stage. There will be further overflow seating in the BHS Commons Area if necessary.

Bartlesville Public Schools Athletics Director Tim Bart is keeping an optimistic outlook on tonight's graduation.


Graduation will also be streamed online, and that link will be provided on the official Bartlesville High School Website.
