HUNTLEY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT 158 BOARD OF EDUCATION

BOARD BRIEFS REGULAR MEETING JULY 16, 2015

HHS GRADUATION CEREMONY MOVING TO VENUE AT NIU

The Huntley Community

District 158 Board of Education

approved a contract with

Northern Illinois University to hold

graduation ceremonies for

Huntley High School at NIU’s

Convocation Center through

2018.

The cost will be $11,400 for

each year, plus AV setup fees.

This change marks significant

savings over the cost to hold

ceremonies at the Sears Centre

in Hoffman Estates, which was

nearing $30,000 annually.

“Principal Scott Rowe and I

toured the venue in May and

believe it will be a very

comparable experience to the

Sears Centre,” said

Superintendent John Burkey.

Several area school districts

already hold graduation

ceremonies at NIU, including

DeKalb and Indian Prairie.
