Following are details of the upcoming high school graduation ceremonies in Camas and Washougal:

Washougal High School

When: 5 p.m., Saturday, June 8

Where: Fishback Stadium, 1201 39th St., Washougal.

Details: The gates for the stadium will open at 3:30 p.m. The Washougal School District asks that families not reserve seats in an effort to provide everybody with the same seating opportunities when the gates open, and that people carpool or walk if possible due to limited parking. Most of the seating will be in the grandstands, but each graduate will be given two tickets for seating inside the fenced area in front of the stage. The “top 5 percent” students will receive an additional three tickets. There also will be seating for individuals with disabilities or impaired mobility. For more information about seating, call Washougal High at 360-954-3100.

Camas High School

When: 7 p.m. Friday, June 14

Where: Doc Harris Stadium, 841 N.E. 22nd Ave., Camas.

Entry into the stadium can be accessed through the gate located next to the main ticket booth and the gate at 19th Street. Handicap access is only available at the main ticket booth gate. All graduates will receive six tickets, and if students do not intend to use the tickets, they can turn them back in to be redistributed to other students via a lottery. If a graduate needs more than six tickets, his or her name will be placed in the lottery. A live stream of the ceremony will be available at the Camas High School Theater.
