Student Transportation

On graduation day, all graduates must travel by bus from their campus to the H-E-B Center. This ensures students arrive together and on time for staging and ceremony preparations. After the ceremony, students will leave with their families. Your campus will release arrival schedules and procedures later this spring.

🎟️ Ticketing Requirements & Requesting Additional Tickets

Tickets are free, and seating at the ceremonies is not assigned. Each graduate will receive a set number of tickets based on their class size. Lost tickets cannot be replaced, and there is no re-entry for graduation ceremonies. Ticketing requirements do not apply to the MEA ceremony at the Manor High School Complex Gym.

Tickets will be required for each guest entering the ceremony. Children under three (3) years old do not require a ticket but must be seated on a lap. Children three (3) years old and older must have a ticket for entry. 

Tickets will be distributed by the campus later this spring.  Please note that students will only receive their tickets once they have met all graduation requirements.

Graduates not using their full ticket allotment are encouraged to share extra tickets with classmates who need them or return them to their campus for redistribution. Campuses will communicate directly with families this spring about requesting additional tickets beyond their additional allotted amount. Submitting a request will not guarantee additional tickets.
