Also of note
McKinney’s Project Graduation, a nonprofit organization, will host a free, all-night event for MISD class of 2025 graduates following the graduation ceremony.
The event, which will begin at 10 p.m. May 23 and continue until 5 a.m. May 24, will be hosted at the McKinney ISD Stadium and will feature games, prizes, music, food and more in an “alcohol and drug-free environment,” the organization’s website states.
“For some graduates, this is the only celebration they might have access to on their big night,” the organization’s website states. “For others, this event will provide a safe alternative to other parties they might otherwise attend.”
Community members interested in supporting the event can contribute through donations or as a volunteer at the event. For more information, visit www.mckinneys-project-graduation.com.
