Our Class PTO is responsible for raising funds for and planning a
Senior Celebration the night of our kids 2026 graduation.
This Eureka High School tradition provides a safe and inclusive celebration that every graduating student can attend. The event will include food, entertainment, activities and EACH graduate will leave with exciting gifts for their next adventure in life!
To ensure this is an all-out AMAZING celebration, we need to raise $35,000 for the event. Thanks to your support, we raised $17,000 last year! This year our goal is to raise $15,000. Below is our fundraising plan for this 2024-25 school year.
