High School Graduation is an important milestone in a teenager’s life which deserves to be honored and celebrated in style, with safety in mind.  Since 1987 Fairfax County high schools, with the support of the PTSO, community, friends, and businesses, have hosted a dynamic, safe, alcohol and drug-free graduation celebration.  This year South County’s All Night Graduation celebration, The Final Stampede, will be held on Friday, June 9, 2023, at The St. James Sports Complex.  We are planning a fantastic evening for our seniors; there will be ice skating, rock climbing, BINGO, casino games, food, prizes, and more.

              Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) conceived the idea of an all-night alcohol and drug-free graduation party several years ago.  Since its inception the number of senior fatalities on graduation night has dropped significantly.  With your support we can continue to bring the number of fatalities down and provide our seniors with an evening to remember. 

              Expenses for an All Night Graduation Party for a class of over 500 students are enormous.  While ticket sales to seniors help defray some of the cost of the evening, we try and keep ticket prices affordable so that all our seniors can attend.
