Senior Party the evening following commencement ceremony, sponsored by PTSA. The Senior Party is coordinated by Class of 2025 parent volunteers of the Interlake High School Parent Teacher Student Association (IHS PTSA) and is a safe and sane, fun and memorable event. This supervised all-night party is drug and alcohol-free, and includes food, beverages, exciting venues, entertainment, and transportation. Security and chaperones are present all evening. Students are taken from Interlake HS the evening of graduation for an overnight of fun with their classmates. The graduates are returned to Interlake High School the next morning.  More information will come from the PTSA including the cost of the event.

Graduation Tickets: Tickets are required to enter Alaska Airlines Arena. Each graduate will receive ten tickets.  Tickets will be distributed following the Senior Breakfast. For additional tickets, you may work with other families who don’t need all ten tickets.

Parking: There are several pay lots on the UW campus near the Edmundson Pavilion. The suggested parking location is the E1 lot. Maps and directions will be provided in early June.

We are excited to use the Alaska Airlines Arena at Edmundson Pavilion for Interlake’s Graduation ceremony.  The venue is designed for easy mobility, and there is ample space for wheelchairs as well as stroller parking. We have been asked to communicate a few restrictions. Balloons, noisemakers, glitter and confetti are not allowed. Families that bring balloons will be required to leave them with staff at the door. Animals are not allowed, with the exception of services animals.
