CHS Project Graduation is a tradition...

...an all night alcohol-free, drug-free celebration held on graduation night for the graduating class, put on by the Harbor-Heights Peace River Rotary Club and parent volunteers.

An event for CHS graduating class members only, Project Graduation is attended by most of the class and features a variety of activities, entertainment, prizes, free food and drink, and is capped off by the performance of a nationally renowned entertainer.

The fun begins at 11 PM on graduation night and ends at 5:30 AM. Seniors don’t want to miss this last hurrah with their friends.

Graduation night is statistically a dangerous night for high school seniors. In the 10 years since Project Graduation began at Charlotte High though, there has not been a serious accident or car fatality on graduation night.

Funding for Project Graduation is provided by the generosity of local businesses and individuals; including cash donations, prizes, and donations in-kind. Our aim to keep our kids safe!
