More than 10,000 Montgomery County Public Schools students will receive high school diplomas in commencement ceremonies this year.

The high school commencement season is set to begin Friday, May 24, and will end Thursday, June 13. 

Sixteen graduation ceremonies will be held at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. Those ceremonies can be viewed live on the DAR Constitution Hall’s website. Ceremonies will also be held at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Md., the Xfinity Center at University of Maryland in College Park, and at individual school or program locations.
