What is Project Grad & Event Details (click to download) These are 2023-24 details for reference.

Watch for updated info.

Project Grad is a celebration for graduating seniors that is safe, drug free, and FUN! Following the graduation ceremony, seniors will load buses and head to PowerPlay in North Kansas City for the night (10:30 p.m. to 3 a.m.). There you can enjoy unlimited arcade games, Zip-lining, and Go-Karts as well as see a hypnotist and maybe even get a henna tattoo. Oh, and there will be prizes too! There will also be pizza, a salad bar, and unlimited soft drinks all night with extra treats at 1 a.m. What better way to end your high school career than with memories of one last night with friends?!

When/where do the buses leave for Project Grad?

Buses will leave from Lee’s Summit West soon after the conclusion of the graduation ceremony. Buses will begin loading at 9 p.m. and depart as close to 9:30 as possible. PLEASE DO NOT speed to get to West! We don’t want any accidents on the way to the celebration! We will call if you have purchased a ticket and do not show up.

Park in the student lot between the Bus Lane and Tennis Courts. The lot will be monitored by security throughout the night/morning until our return sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. Cars must be removed from LSW parking lot by 6:00 a.m.

Are bags/belongings allowed?

You may bring small bags for essential personal items only, but they will be collected prior to arrival and kept in a tub and locked in a secure room throughout the event. Mrs. Ireland or a Project Grad parent will have the key to access that area throughout the evening/morning. DO NOT BRING: backpacks, outside food or drinks, which includes alcohol, drugs, or vape pens of any type.**

You may bring cell phones, but understand doing so is at your own risk.

LSW and PTSA are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

** Please note: If you are caught with any contraband, law enforcement will be called **

What are some time management tips?

Plan ahead.
Take a picture of your ticket, so you have it on your phone in case you forget to bring it.
Make sure your family understands Project Grad is happening and the time you need to leave.
Take family pictures before the graduation ceremony.
Bring clothes to change into at West instead of going home after the ceremony. (Bathrooms in the Commons will be open for use.)
