Even though summer is here, the work behind the scenes never stops at Commerce City Schools. Our teachers, leaders, and staff are already hard at work preparing for an incredible 2026-2027 school year, and we cannot wait to welcome our students back soon!

The Commerce High School Class of 2026 Graduation Ceremony will be streamed live on YouTube. Join us at this link: https://youtube.com/live/rM32rrqioqU?feature=share

After careful consideration and consultation regarding weather conditions and safety, Graduation will be moved inside to the CHS Gym. Graduation will remain at the same scheduled time, 8:00 p.m. Due to gym capacity and to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all guests, each graduate received eight tickets for admission. Overflow seating with a live stream of the ceremony will be available in the CHS Auditorium. We appreciate your flexibility, understanding, and support as we work to provide a safe and memorable ceremony for our graduates and families.

We are continuing to closely monitor the weather forecast for graduation. At this time, the ceremony location is still pending and could be held either outside or inside depending on conditions. Both spaces are set up and ready pending the forecast, and we are prepared to celebrate our graduates rain or shine. Please stay tuned for the final decision. We will send out official communication tomorrow after lunch with the confirmed graduation location and any additional details. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we work to ensure a safe and memorable ceremony for everyone.

Please see the information below regarding the potential impact of inclement weather on the 2026 graduation ceremony. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and communicate any updates as decisions are made.
