This year’s graduation marks the first time in two years that Anchorage School District graduates will walk across the stage at the same place, as the district prepares to hold commencement ceremonies at the Alaska Airlines Center.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Preparation is underway for graduation at the Alaska Airlines Center, where each Anchorage School District high school will hold its commencement.
“We are excited to kind of move to a centralized graduation venue this year,” Director of Secondary Education Martin Lang said. “It was a lot of work staging all those separate graduations, and so this allows our school faculty to really focus more on celebrating with our seniors here at the Alaska Airlines Center this year.”
The school district is encouraging families to share tickets if they aren’t using them, and Lang added that principals at each school will have a small set of tickets for students with unique circumstances.
