Plain Dealing High School is excited to celebrate two graduation ceremonies on Friday, May 16, 2025. Kindergarten Graduation will begin at 9:00 AM in the Activities Building, and High School Graduation will take place at 6:00 PM in the Bobby C. Bryant Gymnasium. Guests attending either event are asked to park in the lot located in front of the football field. Parking in front of the school will be reserved for designated guests only.
To ensure a safe and respectful environment, all attendees will be required to pass through Open Gate metal detectors upon entry. We kindly ask that all guests help preserve the dignity and solemnity of both ceremonies by maintaining proper decorum throughout the events. Plain Dealing High School looks forward to celebrating these important milestones alongside our students, families, and community.
