Grads should arrive at WHS at 9:30 pm on graduation night and take a shuttle to Epicenter. All students are required to take the shuttle and there are no drop off options without prior approval and arrangements ahead of time with the Project Grad committee. Grad Night Party ends at 3:30 am the next morning. The shuttle will return grads to WHS to their vehicle or for parent pick up.
Windsor Project Grad will be held at Epicenter. Windsor Graduates from all 3 Windsor schools will check in with their school ID in the parking lot near the gym at WHS. From there, grads will take a shuttle to Epicenter. The shuttle will bring them back to WHS at the end of the event.
THERE ARE NO IN AND OUT PRIVILEGES. If you choose to leave your parent/guardian will be called to come pick you up and take you home, even if you are 18. You will not be allowed to return to the party. Students will be expected to adhere to school event policies.
The only personal items a grad may need are their car keys, phone and a charger. Only small clear bags are allowed inside of Epicenter. Since we're indoors with controlled temps, jackets are not necessary.
Project Grad is a parent planned and run event to ensure that Senior students spend their graduation night in a safe and fun environment where their hard work and dedication to their education can be celebrated.
According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, traffic collisions are the number one killer of teenagers in America. Nationally about 5,000 teens will die in automobile collisions and about ten percent of those deaths are in California alone. Our goal is to have all of our senior students spend their graduation night in a safe and alcohol/drug-free environment. Project Grad succeeds because it is so much fun that our teens would rather come to the Grad party than go to other parties where alcohol & drugs are prevalent.

Transportation will be provided from WHS to Epicenter and back to WHS after the event. Grads can park at WHS and leave their vehicles or they can be dropped off at WHS. All grads will be transported together from WHS to Epicenter and back. Students are usually very tired at the end of a long graduation day and Grad Night.
Parent volunteers will be supervising students inside and outside the venue. Epicenter also has security present who are all state certified and trained in CPR and First Aid.
There is a medical first aid area if a grad feels ill. If a grad needs to go home, their parents are called and only THEIR PARENTS MAY PICK THEM UP even if they are 18. Should the student choose to leave and is not ill, they will forfeit the Grad Night prizes they have won and will not be eligible for the Grand Prize drawing at 3:30 am.
To ensure that the event remains a Safe and Sober Grad Night, purses, jackets and/or backpacks should be left in their vehicles at WHS. Small clear bags can go into Epicenter, but they shouldn't need anything other than their car keys, phone and maybe a charger.
