On the night of Bedford High School Graduation, June 6th, 2019, the All Night Graduation Committee welcomed 159 Bedford graduating seniors to the 32nd annual All Night Graduation Party. This long-standing Bedford tradition offers a safe and substance-free event on the night of graduation. The seniors arrive at 10:30 pm and stay in a completely transformed Bedford High School until 5:30 am. They are thoroughly entertained throughout the evening with a variety of food and a constant stream of fun activities. The activities, entertainment options, and performers are some of the best-kept secrets in Bedford, allowing each and every graduating class to experience it anew.
Planning and preparation for this event starts at the beginning of the school year by the 21-member All Night Graduation Committee. The Bedford Public Schools including the Art Department, Business Office, Food Services, Guidance, and METCO Departments, Music and Theater Departments, Student Office at BHS, Technology Office and Superintendent’s Office continue to be strong supporters of the event. The Bedford Fire and Police Departments work hard to keep everyone safe- students and adults alike. With the help of several dozen parent and community volunteers, as well as the generous donations of many community organizations, area businesses, and Bedford parents, we make this event a reality.
We ask that you please take a moment to view our “All Night Graduation Thank You Program”: https://bit.ly/2019ANGthanks This program lists each and every volunteer, donor, and sponsor. Without their continued and generous support of this event, All Night Graduation would not be the vibrant and sought-after event that it is. Over 80% of the graduating class attends the event, including seniors from Hanscom Air Force Base and the METCO program. The feedback from the attending seniors is overwhelmingly positive, with most saying that All Night Graduation is one of the most fun and memorable events during their years at Bedford High School. Thanks to the financial donations of many, scholarships are given to any senior requiring assistance.
