Dear Parents/Guardians of OFA Seniors:
The 2025 OFA Senior Graduation Commencement Ceremony will take place on Friday, June 20, 2025.
The decision for an earlier graduation was agreed on during a board of education meeting last summer. Over the past few years, the state has added holidays to the schedule which has extended the NYS regents schedule. In more recent years, our seniors have been waiting upwards of 2 weeks for graduation day.
After approval of the earlier graduation date was decided on, we also learned that the Owego Strawberry Festival had been scheduled for the same weekend. To avoid a conflict with the festivities of the weekend and allow people to participate in both events, we have decided to adjust the start time of the Senior Graduation Ceremony. The Ceremony will be at 2:00 pm on Friday, June 20th.
Graduation will happen rain or shine on Friday, June 20th at 2 pm. In the event of inclement weather, we will move the ceremony into the OFA Gymnasium.
Thank you all for your continued support and understanding. It should be a fun-filled weekend for everyone in the community and our commencement ceremony will be a great way to kick off the weekend festivities. We are looking forward to an exciting second semester as we prepare for all senior events. If you have any questions about senior events that will take place later this year, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you all once again.
Sincerely,
Phil Schofield, Principal
