Two of my children graduated from TCHS. Their grandmother (at age 79), attended the first graduation ceremony, but not the second. Subjecting small children and the elderly to such weather conditions is terribly inconsiderate in my opinion. It is simply too hot at that time of year. I am in support of changing the location to an indoor venue or changing the time of the ceremony.

This is the best for our community. Entirely to hot and it wipes everyone out. Very difficult for elderly to sit in for sure. I hope this stand makes the change.

I graduated from TCHS in the evening at the football field . It was a wonderful experience for everyone. I'm not certain why the time was changed but it was obviously not a good idea.

Great idea! It's way to hot facing the sun at 8am in the summer heat!

A night time event would help a lot of people who can not tolerate being in the sun and heat. I am all for it.

I graduated in 2004 as well and I agree that it cant take place at TCHS gym. My brother, who jad a ticket, did not get in because it was fulled to capacity. The football field is a nice place to have it but it should be at a different time. 10am-2pm is usually the hottest part of the day. Please change the time!!!

I think this should be given a chance.
