Broward County Public Schools has released the official graduation schedule for the Class of 2026, with commencement ceremonies set to take place from May 28 through June 3, 2026.
Graduations will be held for all 47 high schools, combination schools, technical colleges and education centers across the district. Students and families will receive school-specific information directly from their campuses, including details on cap and gown orders, ceremony logistics, guest ticket distribution, safety and security procedures, graduation decorum and livestreaming options for those unable to attend in person.
“We are excited to celebrate the achievements of the Class of 2026,” BCPS Superintendent Dr. Howard Hepburn said. “We applaud their hard work, perseverance and commitment. As these students prepare to begin the next chapter of their lives, we celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to the lasting impact they will make in our community and beyond.”
Graduation venues were assigned based on the size of each graduating class, following the district’s longstanding methodology. This year, 33 of the 44 ceremonies will be held at eight district-owned facilities. The largest of these venues can seat up to 575 graduates and accommodate approximately 2,500 guests.
Commencement exercises for the 11 largest graduating classes — those with more than 555 students — will be hosted off-site. Nine schools will graduate at Nova Southeastern University, while two ceremonies will take place at Hard Rock Live.
Each graduate is guaranteed a minimum of four tickets for their ceremony. Additional tickets may be made available depending on venue capacity and at the discretion of individual schools.
Among the scheduled ceremonies, Blanche Ely High School will host multiple graduations, including its own on Friday, May 29, at 7 p.m. Boyd Anderson High School’s commencement is set for Saturday, May 30, at 7 p.m. at Nova Southeastern University, while Atlantic Technical College and Atlantic Technical High School will both graduate on Wednesday, June 3, at 2 p.m. at Blanche Ely High School.
