  • Fort Bend ISD graduates had heels in their hands and gowns in the wind after deciding to ditch their families stuck in traffic and make a run for it so they wouldn't miss walking across the stage.

    I’m in Mesquite, Texas for my little cousin’s graduation, and they made the graduates meet at the school at 8:30 a.m. (1:00 p.m. graduation) to load onto buses and travel to the venue. Each graduate received 9 tickets but could pay for 2 more.

    If they're going to do paid parking, then why not do offsite lots and shuttle buses with dedicated entry? Like the Houston rodeo. idk. I suppose it's just another day around Houston

    The spirit of Greedy is seen. Don't think the School District didn't pay fees to use the location.
    So glad to know this infrastructure is crumbling before my eye.

      To many people, my high school graduation in 2005, we had it at the Masonic Temple started at 1pm. The parking was free. Each Senior in my class had free 10 tickets each and can buy extra tickets if your family very big. My 4 year old son came behind stage while we were lining up. Ask me can he walk with me. lucky my step mom got him for me. Now class 2024, no tickets, free parking be having their at University football fields in my city. I went to two different ones. My son high school in 2020 was small they have it at the school.

      If traffic was this bad going to another venue, imagine what it would be like at the school. Maybe parking lots and space is bigger in Houston, but schools in Metro Atl do not have the space for hundreds of graduates with each graduate having anywhere from 5 to 10 family members attending, and definitely no school has a parking lot big enough to handle all of the cars.
