8th Grade Continuation

Please join us Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at Overland High School at 6PM as we celebrate our 8th graders! Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony. More details will be posted soon.

Tickets are not required for the event. Families can bring as many people as they wish to help celebrate their continuing kids!

Requested dress code for continuing 8th graders is business casual. Slacks and polos are acceptable, as well as dresses and skirts. Please no ripped jeans, shorts, crocks, spaghetti straps, no midriffs showing, or mini skirts (the stage is above the seating). If your child chooses to wear heeled shoes, make sure they can walk up and down stairs and across a stage!
