2026 BACCALAUREATE CEREMONY

The Pembroke High School Baccalaureate Parent Committee is pleased to invite you to the 2026 Baccalaureate Ceremony, “A Senior Send-off." This ceremony is for seniors, their parents/caregivers, family, and other interested members. The short evening consists of brief readings, music, a keynote address, and a non-denominational blessing for the seniors from local religious leaders of various faiths. The Baccalaureate is a time to pause in our busy lives, to give thanks, to reflect on the past years of the graduating seniors, and to look toward the future with hope and optimism. The ceremony will take no longer than an hour.


The Baccalaureate Ceremony will be held in the PHS Randall Auditorium on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at 7 p.m. Seniors and their families should arrive no later than 6:55 p.m. Seniors should be dressed in their blue graduation gowns and sit with family members. We look forward to seeing you there.

2026 SENIOR AWARDS NIGHT:

Invitations to our Senior Awards Night, which will be held in the Randall Auditorium on Thursday, May 28, at 6 p.m., were mailed home on May 15. While the event is not mandatory for our graduates, the entire Senior Class is invited to attend, whether students are being presented with an award or scholarship or not.

 

If your child is receiving an award or scholarship, your invitation contains a pink slip of paper indicating such. That slip of paper asks your child to RSVP with regrets only so that our donors and presenters know who is and who isn't attending. Also, the award recipients will sit on the stage in the auditorium, while the rest of the class will be seated in the audience along with families, friends, faculty, staff, and our donors.

CLASS OF 2026 GRADUATION CEREMONY:

Next Friday 5/29,  we will be sending a more targeted email for this event; however, here are a few general points of interest.

  • Graduation is on May 30 at 10 a.m. at the PHS Athletic Complex. As of this writing, the weather looks fantastic; however, if the weather takes a turn for the worse, we would move the ceremony to our gymnasium.
  • There is no limit on the number of guests each student can bring when we are outside. We will have 1200 guest seats on the turf field, and the bleachers will also be open with a capacity of several hundred more.
  • In the event of inclement weather and an indoor ceremony, seating is limited and guest need a ticket to attend. Our seniors each have six (6) tickets in their cap and gown package for this purpose. Hopefully, we will not need to use them.
  • Whether we are inside or outside, seating is first-come first first-served, with the gates to the turf field and bleachers/gymnasium opening at 8:45 a.m.
  • The Class of 2028 will be selling coffee, muffins, donuts, and other treats from the Athletic Boosters concession stand. All proceeds go right to the Class of 2028. This will happen only if the weather allows us to be outside.
  • All parents are reminded that graduation rehearsal is mandatory. All students planning on attending the ceremony on May 30 must attend.
  • Handicapped parking is available behind the gymnasium, and reserved seating for wheelchair access can also be obtained by contacting Mrs. Harrington in the high school main office (781-293-9281 x2100). Again, next week, I will be sending along a separate, "graduation only," detailed email (complete with a video presentation) targeted to the parents of our graduates. In the meantime, feel free to contact me directly with questions.
