Class of 2025 Information

Hunterdon Central will be using E-tickets for Graduation 2025.

This is a general admission event. Purchase order does not affect seating.

Graduate families may register for 5 tickets, which may be used for an outside ceremony on Stewart Field. Tickets are required for entry into the gated field area and bleachers. No additional tickets will be available. In the event of inclement weather resulting in an indoor ceremony, only 2 tickets per graduate family may be used.

Detailed information about E-tickets will be sent to parents and students prior to the opening of E-ticket registration in June of 2025.

On-site parking for graduation is extremely limited. Graduates and their guests are encouraged to use off-site parking and shuttle bus service to and from Hunterdon Central.

Parking and shuttles are free of charge, and riders need only to show a graduation ticket or their cap/gown to ride. Off-site parking will be available at:

• Solventum Company (500 Route 202, Flemington). Use the Route 202 entrance and park in the lot to the left, as you enter the property. All guests who live on this end of town are encouraged to use the 3M location.
• Hunterdon County Justice Complex Juror Parking Lot (entrance is off Capner Street in Flemington)

Please be aware that these businesses are open on graduation day, so be sure to park in designated areas:

Shuttles will begin to depart the off-site parking lots at 7:30 AM and will run continuously until 8:45 AM for the 9:00 AM graduation ceremony.

In the case of a delayed ceremony at 1:00 PM, shuttles will begin to depart from the off-site parking lots at 11:30 AM and run continuously until 12:45 PM.

Return shuttles will operate after the ceremony from the drop off point (Transportation Building/Bus Parking Lot) to the off-site parking lots. Shuttles will begin to leave once the bus is full, after the completion of the ceremony, and will continue to operate until all riders are returned to the off-site lots.

Shuttles cannot transport babies/infants, car seats or strollers.

Please note: Due to pedestrian traffic, the campus inner-roadway will be closed on Graduation Day. Graduates are not permitted to park on campus; they should be dropped off or take the shuttle. Please plan accordingly.

Graduation will be live streamed on Hunterdon Central Television YouTube Channel. The archived video will remain on the channel following the end of the live stream for future viewing.

Every attempt will be made to have an outdoor ceremony. If the weather forecast calls for a light rain with no thunder/lightning in the morning, we will hold graduation outdoors at 9:00 AM. In this event, please dress appropriately and bring umbrellas, in order to be comfortable during the outdoor ceremony.

If there are more severe weather conditions with thunder/lightning in the morning, we will postpone the ceremony until 1:00 PM, in an attempt to have the ceremony outdoors. However, if severe weather conditions persist and an outdoor ceremony is impossible, the graduation ceremony will be held indoors at 1:00 PM with a limit of two guests. Two of the tickets for outdoors will be reassigned as indoor tickets - no action will be required of the family to convert to indoor tickets.

We will notify families by phone, email, posts on website and social media if the weather conditions cause us to implement any aspect of this inclement weather plan.

Normandy Studio will photograph each senior after they come off the stage to pose with their diploma held up and smiling. Candid photos will also be taken throughout the ceremony to view and purchase by that evening. To order photographs of your graduate, please click the link below:

Sample:

Applications for senior campus parking for the 24-25 school year can be submitted after Monday, May 13, 2024. The application window is open from May 13 to June 13 2024.

Completing the application does not guarantee parking. Payment for parking will not go live until all applications are reviewed and parking is approved.

In order for a student to be eligible for the student parking lottery, the following need to be completed:

• Watch the entirety of the Junior Safety Night video HERE*
  • Review the parking regulations in the Student Handbook. Scroll down to see them.
• Fill out this quiz after watching the video - Satisfactory completion is a requirement for parking eligibility.
• Have your parent/guardian complete Parking Application Workflow.
• Confirm you have paid your Cap & Gown Fee and completed your graduation packet.
• After approval, you must pay the parking fee, electronically on the website.
• Clear all student obligations.

* A special side note...if you want to guarantee a parking spot, you should consider partnering with another student to share a spot. This would need to be indicated on both students’ applications. All other individual entries will go through the regular lottery process. See Mrs. Long with any questions on sharing a spot.

Please visit the link below to view the parking rules that were reviewed at the parking meeting at the beginning of the school year. Remember, parking is a privilege, not a right, so please follow the rules so you don't lose your parking privilege!

College & Career Services hosts college visits, discussion groups, presentations, and small group workshops on the college admissions process, resume writing, and performing a college search. Students can work with Scoir, a software program offering a wide range of college search tools, career assessments and admissions data based on Hunterdon Central alumni.

College and career programs are held throughout the year to assist students and families with the planning process. Several evening programs have been developed for parents/guardians that present information specifically related to college admissions. Most of these programs are also taped and available on Hunterdon Central Television's Youtube Channel.

Mrs Jennifer Nuechterlein at:jnuechte@hcrhs.org is our dedicated College & Career Counselor. More information can be found on the College & Career Services Web Page.

Caps & gowns must be ordered before other senior privileges (parking, prom tickets, etc) can be granted. You must also complete the graduation packet and submit it to the House Office.
