Due to weather, Del City High School will have a virtual day on Tuesday, May 20, so families and staff can celebrate our amazing Class of 2025 at the rescheduled graduation! Join us at the Bennett Event Center on May 20th at 10 AM (doors open at 9).

Out of an abundance of caution and based on updated guidance from emergency management and the National Weather Service, we have made the proactive decision to postpone this evening’s graduation ceremony at the Bennett Event Center. The safety of our students, families, and staff is our top priority. We understand how important this day is and share in the disappointment. However, we will have our graduation ceremony at the Bennett Center on Tuesday, May 20th at 10 am. Doors will open at 9 am. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult decision. Please stay safe and weather-aware.

Reminder for Mid-Del Families: On December 11, 2024, the Board of Education approved a change to the school calendar, making Monday, May 19th, a non-instructional day for students. This adjustment was made to accommodate Mid-Del’s graduation ceremonies. We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2025!

Mid-Del Families, We are closely monitoring the weather forecast for tomorrow, which indicates the possibility of severe weather in the area. Please know that the Bennett Event Center has plans in place to ensure the safety of all attendees in the event of threatening weather. Our team will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day, and we will communicate any necessary updates as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support as we prepare to celebrate this important milestone together.

Happy National Speech-Language Pathologist Day! Today, we celebrate our incredible SLPs who help students find their voice, build confidence, and thrive in and out of the classroom. Thank you for all you do! #SLPDay #mdpurpose

IMPORTANT DEL CITY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION UPDATE Due to the potential for severe weather on Monday evening, Del City High School’s graduation ceremony will now begin at 5 PM instead of 6 PM. Doors to the Bennett Event Center will open at 4 PM. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution to protect the safety of our students, staff, and guests attending the Class of 2025 graduation ceremony. The National Weather Service projects that severe weather may impact the Oklahoma City metro later in the evening. By moving the ceremony to an earlier start time, we hope to ensure everyone has time to celebrate together and travel home safely. While this is a forecasted timeline, we believe it’s best to take precautionary steps for the well-being of all in attendance. Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the well-being of our Eagle family.
