Graduation

Ceremonies are held in Anchorage, Eagle River, Fairbanks, Juneau, Soldotna, and Wasilla for any graduating student who chooses to participate. IDEA graduations are very special ceremonies that celebrate the family involvement in the student’s education with our district. The diploma is presented to the student’s parents, who then award this symbol of achievement to their son or daughter.
