Senior dues are right around the corner, but there are still eight weeks left to be able to get it done on the school website.
According to the Pinellas County School Board, graduation for Osceola Fundamental High will be on May 30, 2025, at 7:30 AM. The location for OFHS Graduation will be at the Baycare Sound Venue (255 Drew St, Clearwater, FL 33755).
Due to the Tropicana Field being damaged by Hurricane Helene and Milton it is being remodeled and getting repaired, some of the seniors have different opinions regarding that the Baycare sound will be hosting the graduation ceremony. Many students are wondering if guests will be limited at Baycare Sound for graduation. Senior class sponsor Mr. Kontrick said, ‘’The Baycare Sound holds 4,000 people in covered seating.’’ Then he did the math of the 4,000 of the seats divided by the 400 students, and it gives plenty of seating for guests for the ceremony. He said it’s also first come, first serve for good seating.
Parents and students were also wondering how parking was going to work. There are parking garages, parking lots, and street parking near the Baycare Sound. Due to the different parking locations, it will be a long walk for some people trying to get to the center. So, managing your time to get there early to find good parking spots is important.
Senior dues must be paid months before graduation. In fact, senior class sponsor Mr. Kontrick said, “Senior dues are due at the end of January, but the latest I will be taking money is the beginning of February.” Some seniors were curious about what the senior dues include. The senior dues include cap, gown, tassel, diploma and cover, medallion, senior breakfast, senior activities week and lastly the use of the venue at Baycare Sound. With all this information gathered seniors are ready for a celebration.
