What is Grad Nite?
Mira Costa High School’s Grad Nite is an “all-night” party thrown each June exclusively for the graduating class. Attendees are bused to a secret, private venue, where we will have unique entertainment, music, photo booth and a variety of foods. The party is substance-free and provides a safe environment for the current graduating class to celebrate together one last time.
Why go to Grad Nite, besides the awesome party?
To keep your Graduate safe on such a special day. Graduation night has the highest death toll of the year for teenagers, because alcohol-related traffic accidents remain the No. 1 killer of America’s teenagers, and the evening of graduation is the party night of all party nights. Car accidents cause more teenage deaths than any other factor, and the majority of these accidents happen between 6pm and 12am. The percentage of automobile fatalities that involve alcohol jumps from 33% to 40% on graduation night. Click HERE for a must-see video about these statistics.
When is Grad Nite?
Grad Nite check-in begins at Mira Costa the night after graduation and the Strand Stroll. Students will be returned to school via bus between 1:30 am and 2:00 am.
Who is invited to Grad Nite?
Graduating students of the MCHS senior class are invited to attend this memorable party. The senior class gathers together for one last celebration together to memorialize their high school careers.
Where is Grad Nite?
The location is always kept a secret to ensure the safety of the Graduates and eliminate the challenge of uninvited participants. The Grad Nite Committee hires an experienced event planner to ensure that the venue exceeds expectations and provides the perfect party atmosphere.
How do I pay for Grad Nite?
More information about how to buy tickets and what is included will be shared during the school year.
Are there scholarships available?
