At the heart of the Chesapeake Public Schools (CPS) mission is our commitment to preparing students to successfully fulfill their life’s purpose.

Time to Celebrate:

Plan to join family and friends to celebrate the Class of 2021 in a traditional graduation ceremony scheduled at S.B. Ballard Stadium on the Old Dominion University Campus. Due to limited seating, all graduation ceremonies will live-streamed.

Tickets: (updated, 4/27/2021)

Each graduate will receive six (6) guest tickets for the ceremony. To comply with Governor Northam’s Plan for Safe In-Person Graduations and Commencements, there will be six feet of physical distancing between each guest group for mitigation purposes.
