We, the students and families of Ardsley High School’s Class of 2026, respectfully request that the district hold our graduation ceremony at Ardsley High School.
Graduation is one of the most meaningful moments of our lives. Celebrating this day on our own campus makes the experience personal and sentimental in a way no outside venue can replicate. While we understand the logistical considerations involved, SUNY Purchase is far, inconvenient for families and lacks the emotional connection that makes graduation truly special. We ask the administration to listen to the voices of students and parents and honor the importance of this milestone by keeping our graduation at Ardsley High School.
Please sign to support bringing our graduation home.

Ridiculous that we have to drive all the way to Purchase when we have a perfectly good field right here in our own backyard. Keep it local!
Why pay for a new field if we aren't going to use it for the biggest day of the year? This makes no sense.
The school district with the new Superintendent is so wrong to have graduation away from school grounds and just reminds us that they should have hired a more connected Superintendent rather than a disconnected one from New Jersey. He doesn't care about the Ardsley families.
We just spent $20 mil on a beautiful field, why aren’t we using it for our graduation?
Having graduation anywhere out of ardsley simply takes away all the sentimental value of graduation and wastes the potential of our multi million dollar brand new field.
Keep it in Ardsley
Keep graduation in Ardsley

So tired of the school board ignoring what the actual families want. Graduation belongs on our field.
