Manor Independent School District has announced that the graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2025 will be held at the H-E-B Center. This decision follows a survey where most respondents favored this venue. The ceremonies will include graduates from Manor Senior High School, Manor Early College High School, and Manor New Tech High School.
Superintendent Dr. Robert Sormani acknowledged an error in previous communications regarding seating capacity: "I regret I used the words 'unlimited seating' in the survey because of course no place has unlimited seating." Due to high interest, tickets will be required for all ceremonies at the H-E-B Center to ensure all graduates have family representation.
The schedule for graduation is as follows:
- May 28, 2025:
- 9 a.m. – Manor High School (MHS)
- 1 p.m. – Manor New Tech High School (MNTHS)
- May 29, 2025:
- 3 p.m. – Manor Excel Academy (MEA) at the Manor ISD Performing Arts Center
Ticket allocations are set at eight per graduate for MHS and sixteen per graduate for MNTHS. Graduates can collect their tickets from their campuses in spring. Children under three do not need a ticket if seated on a lap; however, children aged three and older require a ticket.
Families are encouraged to share unused tickets with classmates or return them for redistribution. Parking at the H-E-B Center costs $10, and guests must adhere to a clear bag policy.
All relevant information will be available on the district's graduation website closer to the event date.
Dr. Sormani expressed gratitude for community support: "Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to create a memorable event for our graduates and their families."
