Graduation Tickets Information
Eligible Mansfield ISD seniors received their graduation tickets on Thursday, May 21. 

Graduation ceremonies will be held at the MISD Center for the Performing Arts (1110 W. Debbie Lane, Mansfield, TX 76063) from June 4 through June 6.  Specific campus dates are indicated to the left.

New this year: there will be assigned seating rather than general admission. Through a random selection process, each student received 10 tickets in which the seating is grouped together.

Every person, regardless of age, must have a ticket. Overflow seating will be provided in a separate location for guests without tickets. Graduations will also be streamed live here.
Ceremony Procedures

Please note the following guidelines for MISD graduations:
  • Guest admission will begin one hour prior to graduation start time.
  • No hired video or photography is allowed.
  • No flowers, balloons, noise-makers, or air horns are allowed at any time.
  • Food and drink will not be allowed in the Center before, during, or after graduation.
Entrances to the Center parking will be off Main Street and Debbie Lane. Shuttles will be utilized in the parking lot to assist guests to the Center.

As an added safety measure, all bags and purses will be subject to inspection upon entering the Center for all commencement ceremonies.

In preparation for the next graduation, students and family members will not be allowed to re-enter the Center after exiting.
