How many guest tickets will each graduate receive?
Per the TEA Guidance for Graduation released on May 6, outdoor ceremonies are required to provide 6 feet or more of spacing between all participants. Legacy Stadium can only accommodate sitting groups of 4 or 8 to meet established guidelines and adhere to a maximum seating capacity of 3,600.
To ensure compliance with TEA guidance, graduates at Foster, Terry and George Ranch high schools will receive 4 guest tickets each due to the number of graduates at those campuses. Since Lamar Consolidated and Fulshear high schools have smaller graduating classes, they will receive 8 guest tickets. The guests of each graduate are required to sit together as a group of 4 at designated seating in Legacy Stadium, ensuring 6 feet of separation between each group of guests. Guests will be able to easily identify groupings of 4 seats by marked stadium seats and signage.
