Fort Bend County and Fort Bend ISD have entered into a five-year agreement to have the Fort Bend County Epicenter host high school graduation ceremonies beginning May 23-May 25, 2024.

Who it's for

Graduations for the district’s Austin, Bush, Clements, Dulles, Elkins, Hightower, Kempner, Marshall, Ridge Point, Travis and Willowridge high schools will be scheduled across the three days.

What they’re saying

"We are truly excited about holding our commencement ceremonies in the new Epicenter, and we know our grads and their families are going to thoroughly enjoy being in the beautiful new venue,” FBISD Superintendent Christie Whitbeck said. “Having a great indoor space for graduations enables the district to streamline the commencement schedule so ceremonies take place over the course of just a few days instead of several. Also, it removes the threat of postponements due to weather.


The details

Located in Rosenberg, the facility is a 230,000-square-foot sports and entertainment facility. The arena boasts over 8,600 fixed seats, with a capacity for a total of 10,000 seats. The venue features a multipurpose area and a covered outdoor pavilion. The Epicenter can host basketball and volleyball tournaments, concerts, family entertainment and livestock shows.
