INCLEMENT WEATHER: In the event of inclement weather, graduation will be held at the El Dorado Municipal Auditorium. Each senior will receive tickets Monday morning at graduation practice. Tickets are ONLY to be used if graduation is moved indoors due to weather. Due to the fire code, only those with tickets will be allowed in. Again, this is only in the event graduation is moved due to inclement weather. Any updates will be posted to the ESD website and social media pages. An alert will be sent out to ESD guardians if there are any changes.
