Attendance information

With the change in guidelines, graduation will no longer be a ticketed event. Family pods will no longer be required. There will be seating on the field and in the bleachers for this event. No reserved seating is necessary. Also, as part of graduation, there will be a large LED screen for viewing for those that may be further away from the stage.

Please note, we have arranged for a photographer to take individual pictures of each senior as they receive their diploma. Those in attendance will not be allowed to move toward the stage to take pictures during the ceremony.

Golf carts will transport guests needing assistance out to the field. Please look for the drop off sign indicating where to drop off the guests in need of a ride. Handicapped parking will be available on the field leading out to the stadium.

All inquiries regarding the graduation ceremony should be directed to Principal Jeremie Sirois at jsirois@rsu21.net.

Kennebunk High School Alumni Association

The Kennebunk High School Alumni Association has requested the names, mailing addresses and email addresses of the graduating class. The association is looking for this information to keep graduates informed of class reunions, and annual Alumni Dinner that is held each year in June and other special events.

Because of the FERPA Law, the high school is asking parents and guardians of those students under the age of 18 to discuss with their seniors and decide if they’d like to share the information with the Alumni Association.
