What is Grad Night?
Grad Night is a Cupertino High tradition—it is an all-night party exclusively for graduating seniors. It is an awesome celebration of this milestone in their lives. Grad Night gives our grads an extraordinary experience and also a chance to celebrate with their friends in a fun, safe and sober environment.

Why are ticket prices so high?
As you probably know, there has been tremendous inflation, and the cost of everything (food, drinks, vendor fees, etc.) has gone up. Please be assured that the full amount you pay is going towards the event to ensure that this will be an amazing and memorable experience for your child.
What is your refund policy?
There are no refunds. We spend all of the money we collect from ticket sales so we are unable to refund money if you change your mind or cannot make it to Grad Night.
What happens if Grad Night is canceled?
If Grad Night is canceled, we will refund 75% of your ticket price. Unfortunately, since we have to put down deposits with many of the vendors, we are not able to refund 100% of your money.
What happens to all of the money you’ve spent on deposits and purchases if Grad Night is canceled?
Some vendors are willing to hold our deposits and apply them to the following year’s Grad Night. Some will not. It is completely at the discretion of the vendor. Any non-perishable purchases made will be saved and used for the following year’s Grad Night.
What if my student wants to arrive after 9:30 pm or leave before 4:00 am?
Private transportation is not allowed. However, in the event that a student becomes ill or is requested to leave the premises immediately, a parent will be contacted to pick up their child in San Jose. There are no exceptions. If a student must leave prior to 4:00 am, the parent must contact the Grad Night Committee prior to the event to discuss the reason to see if this can be permitted. This holds true to those over 18 as well – this is in accordance with our insurance policy and is non-negotiable.
What happens if a student does not follow the rules or acts inappropriately while at Grad Night?
There is a zero tolerance policy, and a parent will be called to pick up the student immediately.
What may students bring?
We discourage students from bringing anything other than their phone and what they are wearing. There’s no need to bring a water bottle or any food, as all food and drinks will be provided. If necessary, students may bring one (1) clear gallon-sized Ziploc bag of personal belongings, subject to inspection at check-in. Any items that are not school-appropriate will be confiscated. If you decide to bring a Ziploc bag, please label it clearly with your full name and phone number.
How can parents/families help?
Double the impact of your donation! Many employers match your donations to a non-profit. Any donations to the Cupertino High School Grad Night Boosters (tax ID: 77-0395594) are tax deductible and eligible for match by your employer.
