Clayton HS Graduation will be on Haupt Field starting at 7:30 pm. If you park at the HS parking lot we will have a shuttle bus available starting at 7:00pm.

Due to the anticipated thunderstorms and high temperatures, the high school graduation ceremony will take place at 7:30 this evening. We will provide an update regarding the location as soon as we have more information about the weather.

As of right now, Clayton Public School District is planning on holding the graduation ceremony outside at Haupt Field tonight at 5 p.m. The gates will open 30 minutes prior to the start of graduation. In the event that inclement weather delays a 5 p.m. start time, we will attempt to start graduation at 6 p.m. outdoors. We will continue to post updates through the website, the CPSD app, CHS Facebook, and email.

Congratulations to the Clayton High School Class of 2025! Best wishes for a wonderful evening as you celebrate your graduation!
