I'm trying to plan a family trip after I graduate next year but first I need to know when graduations usually occur. Around when do most high school graduations happen across the U.S?
High school graduations in the United States most commonly occur from late May to early June. The specific timing varies by school and state, and there will be some outliers, usually due to the differences in school calendars. For instance, in some Southern states, with earlier begins and ends of the school year, you might see graduations even in mid-May. In areas with a lot of snow days, graduations may slowly move into mid-June.
Given how important this event is, you might want to confirm the exact date with your school administration. They may not be able to provide you with the exact date for next year yet, but they should at least be able to give you a typical timeframe based on past years. This can help you plan your trip effectively and ensure you don't miss out on your graduation.
