Project Graduation is an exclusive all-night, alcohol and drug-free celebration for Acton-Boxborough Regional High School (ABRHS) graduating seniors in Acton, Massachusetts. Run by dedicated parent volunteers and community members since 1989, this event is held on graduation night from 10 pm to 5 am.
Each year, the Project Graduation committee (built from some awesome pay it forward parents and community members) selects a surprise theme to transform the high school, which is revealed to the seniors at 9:30 pm. An open house for the community is held from 8:00-9:00 pm before the festivities begin.
With over 90% of the senior class attending, this event boasts live entertainment, arcade games, psychics, crafts, a casino, food, and much more.
Project Graduation is a non-profit organization (Tax ID: 04-3116032) operating independently of the school budget and is fully funded through generous donations from family, the community and local businesses.

Is this an overnight event for everyone? This is a “lock-in” event. Graduates, regardless of age, may NOT leave Grad Night early without permission and transportation by a parent/guardian. We ask that all parents/guardians be available by phone from 10 pm to 5 am in case of emergency and parents (or students over 18) MUST sign a waiver when purchasing tickets.
What are the rules? While Grad Night is not a school-sponsored event, school rules still apply. Graduates are expected to be respectful to volunteers staffing the event, to their fellow graduates, and to school property.
What is the waiver for? A signed waiver is required to attend Grad Night and a signed waiver is needed to ride the mechanical bull as well as a liability waiver. Students 18+ may sign both themselves; otherwise they must be signed by a parent/guardian.
What can I or do I need to bring? All you need to bring is an ID, $30 if you haven't prepaid, a signed waivers (if they were not completed online)…, your phone, a sweatshirt because it’s cold in the school, and your yearbook. Graduates must not bring any bags. A clear bag will be provided upon arrival for your belongings.
