Because the Permian HS and Odessa HS ceremonies are outdoors at Ratliff Stadium there are some other guidelines for parents, family, and friends to be aware of.

First, if bad weather results in one of the ceremonies being postponed, that ceremony will be made up on Saturday, May 25, at 8:30 a.m. If bad weather results in both ceremonies being postponed one will be made up at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and the second will be made up at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Second, there will be four entrances and exits. Please see the maps here for the traffic patterns that will be in place for both ceremonies at the stadium. This is important to know to determine your best route to the stadium.

Third, all Ratliff Stadium guidelines will be enforced, including the clear bag policy. You can find all those stadium guidelines here on the ECISD website. – https://www.ectorcountyisd.org/Page/359. Those polices, as well as graduation guidelines are also included with this release.
