Location
 
The ceremony will take place outside on the lawn between Merrill Main and Lindbergh Blvd. Guests are encouraged to dress appropriately and wear bug spray.
 
Parking

Parking for the event will be available on the TJ campus to attendees on a first come, first serve, basis. Attendees are encouraged to carpool with members of their own household. Spaces will be reserved on campus in the visitor parking area for those who requested special accommodations in their RSVP.


If parking on campus is full, additional parking will be available at Truman Middle School, located at 12225 Eddie And Park Rd, St. Louis, MO 63127. A shuttle will be running every few minutes before and after the ceremony to transport guests to and from this location.

Masking

The event will take place outdoors and attendees are expected to plan accordingly. For our students’ health and safety, especially considering that many of them will be traveling the next day, we request that masks be worn while you are indoors.
 
Art Sale and Fundraiser
 
Before and after the ceremony, guests are encouraged to view the student artwork that will be on display on the east side of the lawn. This artwork is part of the TJ Art Sale, which is a fundraising event organized by seniors and current students featuring artwork created during their TJ careers. This event not only celebrates the artistic achievements of TJ students but also aims to support TJ’s art programs. All proceeds collected through these sales will support the arts and theater departments. Thank you for your generous support!
