APRIL 19, 2026
It takes a village to pull off graduation and we are only one year away from having our students graduate! Please consider signing up to help out with the class of 2026 graduation day. We still have a few spots to fill, so grab a friend or pick a shift that works for you and join in to get a sneak peek of what it will be like for us next year!
Graduation Class of 2026 SUG
Prom: SAN FRAN-DISCO is this Saturday, Apr 25 at the Exploratorium—students can expect a full night of fun including great food, museum exhibits, dancing, photo booths, transportation to/from, and more. Just a few junior reminders as we approach the day:
- We have an opportunity for a class photo at the Del Santos’ house at 4:30pm. All are invited to attend!
- Students must be at Acalanes at 5:30pm and will meet in the front quad.
- While prom has heavy appetizers, it is not an endless buffet. We want to remind students to take care of themselves while getting ready, eat breakfast & lunch and stay hydrated so they can enjoy the evening.
- Final bus assignments will be emailed out and posted in the counseling window.
- We should arrive back to Acalanes no later than 11:00pm.
- Questions? Reach out to Ms. Walton
Grad Night 2027 Needs One Lead Coordinator (Chair). It’s hard to believe, but our Class of 2027 will be seniors next year! That means it’s time to start planning Grad Night, the fun, safe celebration that happens right after graduation.
We’re looking for two Junior parents to serve as Grad Night Chairs next year. Many parents team up with a friend, and you’ll have lots of support from class liaisons and past chairs. You’ll also get to shadow this year’s team on graduation day so you can see how everything works. Grad Night is a special Acalanes tradition — but it can only happen if parents step up to lead it.

The College and Career Center is available to support juniors with post-high school planning as we move into Spring. Students may drop in before or after school or sign up for a 15-minute appointment for help with college lists, majors, summer opportunities, resumes, and more. All juniors are encouraged to complete the Class of 2027 JuniorQuestionnaire and bring it to your meeting for personalized planning. Helpful tools, including the College List Guide, Application Checklist, and Junior Year Planning Calendar, are available to keep students on track.
Rising Senior Parent night is Wednesday, Apr 29. Mark your calendars to attend and learn all you need to know about your student’s senior year.
Class of 2027 Liaisons: Hazel Blackhart, Stephanie Hamilton, Erica Mason, Jeannine Palmer
