MHS Class of 2026, family and friends,

We are so excited to celebrate with you all at McMann Field on Sunday, June 14 at 2:00pm.

If there is inclement weather, we will move our graduation ceremony inside in the Morse High School gymnasium. We will notify of this change via email, social media, and our website as early as possible on the day of graduation. Just in case, we wanted to share our rainy day plan so you can be prepared, as well as a few other last minute important details.

Rain Plan

In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held inside the Morse High School gymnasium. Each graduate will be given eight (free) tickets for the inside graduation due to seating capacity. We will also have the graduation live streamed in the Montgomery Theater for extra guests with no tickets required for seating in the theater (this overflow seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis in the theater). 

In the case of an indoor graduation, the Morse doors will open at 12:00pm and parking will be onsite with overflow parking at McMann Field and Bath Middle School. Transportation from the field complex and BMS to the High school will be provided. Tickets will be given to students on the last day (Friday) of marching practice for this event. Remember, if the weather is not raining, we will be holding graduation outside at McMann and no tickets are necessary, all are welcome. The tickets are only needed in case of inclement weather.

Marching Practice & Graduation Weekend

MARCHING PRACTICE THIS WEEK IS MANDATORY. If it rains, we will have it in the gym at Morse High School.

Wednesday, June 10: Practice will start at 8:30am at McMann Field.  At this practice you will be getting your cap and gown, taking a class picture and also an individual picture if you would like from Soggy Dog Design. For more information about purchasing pictures and pricing, please reach out to Wendy Jung ( wendy@soggydogdesigns.com). The deadline to pay for your cap & gown is June 5. The suggested cost is $22. Checks can be made payable to Morse High School. Cash is also accepted. 

After marching practice is over, graduates will go in a bus or a van to visit their elementary schools in their cap and gowns. This is such a great event for both our seniors and our younger RSU1 students! Students will leave marching practice around 11:00am on either buses or vans and visit schools. Depending on the elementary school and location, students will return between 1:00-1:30pm. If your student did not attend an elementary school in RSU1, don't worry, they can still be part of this program. Mrs. Trundy has assigned all students a school to visit. 

Thursday, June 11: Marching practice will start at 8:30am and will be inside at the Morse High School Gymnasium and will likely last until around 10:00am. Scholarship Night is at 6:00pm. If you have received an invitation, please attend. 

Friday, June 12: Marching Practice starts at 9:00am at McMann Field. This will be our final run through to get out any final questions/confusion. 

Saturday, June 13: Alumni Banquet! The Class of 2026 is the guest of honor. This is located at Morse High School and is a wonderful welcome to the class into the Alumni Association. There will be delicious food and will be representatives from many different classes. Students should dress nicely and arrive a little before 4:30pm when they will be welcomed into the room. Tickets for the Alumni Banquet will be distributed at marching practice. 

Sunday, June 14: GRADUATION! Gates open at 12:30pm for graduation. Handicap parking is available right at McMann Field. All others should plan to park at the tennis courts, Bath Middle School, or Morse High School. A shuttle will be provided from those parking areas. Graduates need to be at the field by 1:00pm to prepare for the big day. The ceremony starts at 2:00pm. Remember to wear business casual attire under your cap and gown. There is no limit to the number of guests that each graduate can have during an outdoor graduation ceremony.
