GRADUATION CEREMONY INFO:
The graduation ceremony will take place on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at 2:00 pm.
- No tickets are required, and there are no limits on the guests attending.
- While there is no 'saving' or reserving seats, there are plenty of seats and there is no bad seat/view.
- We also have plenty of accessible parking for those in need and they will be clearly marked and near the walkways for easy access. No need to contact us for special arrangements as the seats will be clearly marked for accessibility.
- Come early to park or use ride share as traffic gets heavy in the area!
- Please respect our neighbors and do not block driveways.
- We love to cheer for our graduates - please NO confetti cannons. They are very difficult to clean up and not good for our environment.
- Bring plenty of water, sunblock and remember to put your umbrella/shades down once the ceremony starts.
- We have a photographer who takes shots of the graduates as they arrive in the amphitheater and as they shake hands to receive their diploma.
- The graduation is recorded on video and we will post the links on our website.
ROOTS DOWN CELEBRATION for PARENTS AND STUDENTS - PLEASE SAVE THE DATE FOR ROOTS DOWN 2025!
Plan to join us on Monday, June 2nd, from 6:30 p.m - 9:00 p.m. for Roots Down 2025, a special pre-graduation event, proudly sponsored by the Redwood High School Foundation, to honor all members of the Class of 2025. RD25 will take place in the gym at Redwood, and all seniors and their parents/ caregivers or special adults are invited and encouraged to attend.
We are so proud of our graduating seniors who have grown deep and enduring roots during their time at Redwood. Now let’s all come together in celebration as they prepare to spread their branches upon graduation! We look forward to seeing you there!
More detailed information about this event will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead.
Congratulations Class of 2025!
Here are communications sent to seniors and/or families:
Sent: 2/10/25 Redwood High School Foundation Scholarship for 2025 graduating seniors
Dear Seniors,
The Redwood High School Foundation, in addition to other donors, offers scholarships to eligible Redwood students each year, and we are happy to announce that this year's scholarship application is now open, and will be due on March 24, 2025.
Many students rely on scholarships to afford higher education. The scholarship application process is an important one, as scholarships can make a difference in funding education. The scholarship awards offered by the Redwood High School Foundation (RHSF) are heavily weighted for demonstrated financial need. A completed FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or CADAA (California Dream Act Application) is required for consideration of financial need based on the Student Aid Index (SAI), with a maximum SAI of $20,000.
The RHSF Scholarship Committee recognizes and awards students who are continuing their education after graduation from Redwood High School. All scholarships are used for tuition or school expenses at an accredited community college, trade school, 4 year college or university.
To learn more and request an application, https://forms.gle/cG4XWtTp5q63K1Sd9
A full, completed application for these need-based scholarships includes the following:
- Application form (available by request on the application page)
- 1 short essay
- Teacher Recommender
- FAFSA or CADAA Student Aid Index (you will need to complete one of these financial aid foms)
- High School Transcript
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Becky Bjursten
