6:00PM

The ceremony will be held at Grace (9301 Eden Prairie Rd.) in Eden Prairie. 

Doors open at 5:15pm. This is a ticketed event. Every guest must have a ticket to be admitted into the building (not just the ceremony space) and will receive a wristband after initial entry. Student and Staff IDs do NOT grant access.

Sabers Live will be livestreaming the ceremony for those who are unable to attend and saved for future reference: shakopeesabers.com/live

Students will receive their diploma cover during the ceremony; their actual diploma will be available starting June 9, 2025. 

An outside agency will be conducting a standard bag check upon initial entry. All ticketed guests will be subject to a search of their possessions prior to entering the building. Guests should be prepared to open their bags for inspection and may be asked by a security representative to shift and possibly remove the contents. For the enjoyment of all attendees and graduates, we kindly asked for items such as air horns, balloons, noisemakers, confetti cannons, etc. to be left at home.

Each year, Shakopee High School works to ensure that the maximum number of guests can participate in graduation while adhering to the capacity guidelines of Grace Auditorium. Based upon the current number of students graduating from this school year, the ticket details below apply:

• Each graduate will receive four (4) tickets for the ceremony.  There is no fee for the tickets.  

• Tickets will be distributed to students at graduation rehearsal.  

• Every guest must have a ticket to be admitted into the building (not just the ceremony - except for the graduates). 

• Extra tickets:

  • If a family is in need of an extra ticket, networking with other members of the Class of 2025 is encouraged.  

  • If you have extra tickets, you may also return them to the Main Office to be distributed during our Extra Graduation Ticket Distribution Event. The event will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2025 from 4:00 - 5:00PM in the Main Office, East Main Entrance. 

    • This event is first-come, first-served. One extra ticket is provided per student. 

    • The graduating student or family member can pick up the ticket. 

    • Should extra tickets still be available after this event, additional communication will be shared with families on how to obtain the remaining tickets.

Wednesday, June 4, 2025

9:00AM - 1:15PM 

Graduates must report to the High School Auditorium at 9:00AM.  Following a brief meeting, students will be transported via bus to Grace in Eden Prairie for rehearsal.  Students ​​may not​ drive their own car to rehearsal. 

When rehearsal is finished at noon (12:00PM), students will board the bus that is designated to their past elementary school (or one of interest if they didn’t attend K-5 in Shakopee). The bus will make a stop at the elementary school, so the students may walk the hallways one last time and be greeted by students and staff. 

All buses will then return to Shakopee High School around 1:00PM and students will be dismissed for the remainder of the day.

Lifetouch will have photographers taking pictures at the graduation ceremony. Families will be able to purchase pictures online through the Lifetouch website.

The Shakopee Senior Graduation Party is a 40+ year tradition for Shakopee High School graduates. The party takes place right after the commencement ceremony and is an event filled with great food, fun activities and games, giving graduates of this year's Senior Class a fun, safe, drug-free and alcohol-free environment to celebrate with their classmates.
