FAQ

What is the Grad Party?

Each year, Sunset High School senior parents plan and host a graduation party where seniors can celebrate their high school graduation in a drug-free and alcohol-free environment. Our goal is to host an event that allows as many students as possible to have a great time with their classmates and be safe on a very momentous evening.  

The Beaverton School District does not sponsor or endorse any activities related to the Senior Grad Party. All fundraising for the party and class gift is organized by the parent volunteer Grad Party committee.

Where can I buy a ticket and when is the deadline to buy one?

Tickets to the Grad Party are available online at www.sunsetpto.com/grad-party-store

Please purchase tickets and complete the registration form before May 1, 2026 as this allows for an accurate headcount for the venue, transportation, and food vendors.

How much are tickets?

Ticket prices are $125.

What if a family is not able to afford the cost?

At Sunset High School, we believe that every senior should have the opportunity to attend the Graduation Party, regardless of their ability to pay. If you are facing financial constraints, please do not hesitate to reach out to your counselor, as we have arrangements to accommodate all eligible students.

Besides buying a ticket, what else needs to be done? 

A complete registration form is required for each student to attend. Please be sure to fully fill out the form and e-signature information at check-out. 

This is very important, a student will not be allowed on the bus if the form is incomplete, even if the payment is received.

Where is the party going to be and how long is it?

The party venue is a secret every year. Seniors will find out the location on the night of graduation.  

Transportation is provided to and from the party venue and students are not allowed to leave the party once checked-in.

More information about bus pick-up will be updated on May 2026.

How do students sign up for a bus to the party?

Transportation is provided to and from the party venue. Sign-up for buses will be updated after ticket sales close on May 1.

Can students leave the party early?

Everyone rides to and from the party on the bus together for their own safety and liability reasons.

How do students inform the Grad Party Committee of allergy, dietary restrictions or special needs?

Include this information on your registration form and feel free to email it separately to the committee as well at gradparty@sunsetpto.com.

If a student can’t attend after registering, can they receive a refund?  

Families may be eligible for refunds if the Grad Party committee is notified by April 3, 2026. No refunds will be given after that date.

If a student just doesn’t show up the night of the party for any reason other than a legitimate emergency, there are no refunds.  

How can parents sign up to volunteer at the party?

Paremt volunteers are greatly appreciated! There will be many volunteer opportunities throughout the year for and we welcome everyone's help in making the events a success. 

Please read all senior communication to not miss the Grad Party volunteer signup opportunities. 

How can families help support the Grad Party & Class Gift?

We are grateful for business sponsors, gift cards, services, experiences and in-kind items for raffles, auction packages and the fundraising effort. Thank you!
