Class of 2026 Graduation Reminders - IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

The ceremony begins promptly at 7:00 PM. Any guests that arrive after 7:10 PM will not be permitted to enter the ceremony area and will not be seated. Guests will need to wait outside of the Suffolk Federal Credit Union Arena until the conclusion of the graduation ceremony. Our graduates deserve a ceremony free from interruption, so your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Please note that balloons, signs, confetti cannons, and noise making devices such as airhorns are not permitted in the Suffolk Federal Credit Union Arena. If brought to the ceremony, these items will need to be left outside of the building.

Graduation pictures will be taken by Grad Images.   Grad Images will photograph every graduate as he or she receives his/her diploma.  As a result, graduation ceremony guests should not leave their seats during the ceremony to take pictures.   

Diplomas will be available for pick-up at Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School on Monday, June 29, 2026 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM.  They will not be distributed on the night of the graduation ceremony.   Diplomas will NOT be mailed home. If a diploma is not picked up on Monday, June 29, 2026, it will be available for pick-up in the Main Office during the summer with proper identification.
