Description

For more than 25 years the parents of the Santa Ynez High School senior class, with the help of the community at large, have thrown an all-night extravaganza for the graduates on their graduation night.

For the students, this is a well-earned celebration, a last "hurrah" with their classmates before they head into the world.  

The 2025 SYHS Safe & Sober Grad Nite Committee, The Santa Ynez Pirate PTO, and the senior class parents aim to make this year’s Safe and Sober Grad Nite a celebration for them to remember!

This event ensures that our seniors are celebrating in a safe, sober, drug-free, and alcohol-free environment.  Every year there are reports of seniors who do not survive their grad night, due to drug or alcohol use.  We all want to see these young people launched safely into their next chapters to pursue their goals and contribute back to our community.

The Safe and Sober Grad Nite Party has always included age-appropriate entertainment including a DJ, games, hypnotists, tattoo artists, music, PRIZES,  dancing, food, and drink specifically designed to attract ALL graduating seniors..  This year’s event will take it to a new level with the courtyard filled with carnival-style rides, dancing /DJ, games, and food and beverage offerings.

To make this event a reality, we need your help with funding and prize donations.  Your donation helps pay for entertainment, food, prizes and decorations but most importantly, scholarships to any student who needs help in attending, as our goal is to get 100% attendance.  Without the generosity of our donors, this event would not have been successful year after year.
