Fayette County sets last day of school year, graduation schedule
Friday, May 19, will be the last day of classes in Fayette County Public Schools. But high school graduations cannot be held that weekend because Rupp Arena is already booked with a conference for the company Alltech.
The school district on Monday released this schedule for its 2017 commencements at Rupp:
Wednesday May 24:
▪ 4 p.m.: Lafayette High School
▪ 7:30 p.m.: Paul Laurence Dunbar High School
Thursday May 25:
▪ 12:30 p.m.: Henry Clay High School
▪ 4 p.m.: Tates Creek High School
▪ 7:30 p.m.: Bryan Station High School
In 2016-17, Fayette County canceled classes only once because of winter weather, on Jan. 6, and the makeup date was March 17. Therefore, the last day of classes will be as scheduled — on May 19.
