CELEBRATING
Jai'dra Rose Glover
Oakleaf High School
Class of 2026
Graduation is May 22nd at 8pm!
Tickets for guaranteed seating are limited, but any guest wanting to stand or bring a lawn chair for the football field is welcome. Please note that the parking lot historically fills up hours in advance, so there may be a significant walk to get to the ceremony location. It's also outdoors and will happen rain or shine, so tune into the weather and dress appropriately!
If you prefer to stream the ceremony instead, the school will livestream HERE when it's time.
We'll also be celebrating with a brunch in the Jacksonville area the day after graduation and would love to have you there! Please fill out the form below by May 15th if you plan to attend.
