Notice of 2026 Graduation Date Change
Dear Senior Families,
Graduation will be rescheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 7:00 PM; this change will be presented to the Mogadore Board of Education at their next regular meeting. The administration will contact Jostens regarding options to reprint graduation announcements to reflect the new date. The following are details regarding this decision.
1. The Ohio High School Athletic Association has expanded divisions for track and field. The expanded divisions were referenced in OHSAA press releases on February 2, 2026 and on January 16, 2026 when the OHSAA Board of Directors voted for the change.
2. The OHSAA Northeast Region District Board who votes/confirms the district and regional competition sites met on Thursday, February 12, 2026. Mogadore is listed in division V and will compete at the District competition on Thursday, May 21, 2026 starting at 4:00 PM at Cuyahoga Heights High School.
3. Mogadore Athletic Director Mr. Lutz also addressed Softball and Baseball tournaments during graduation week. Softball and Baseball season outcomes will determine further competitions, however Mr. Lutz believes scheduling flexibility will be granted to accommodate graduation and the currently known May 21st track meet.
Thank you for your understanding and adjustment to your calendar to accommodate the Class of 2026 Graduation on Wednesday, May 20th at 7:00 PM.
More information will be shared as it is known.

Hello Families,
This note accompanies the all-text alert you received regarding school tomorrow. We are continuing to monitor the weather and local conditions and try to make the best possible decisions with the information available. Should a family have concerns about their ability to safely send their children to school we will support your decision (please let us know through the attendance line). My thinking is always about safety first for Kindergarten through 12th graders and the staff too which are a wide range of individuals–young students walking through to older students who may be driving to the career center and/or colleges/universities during their school day and the staff who travel to work. Given these variables it is critical for families to think about their unique situation and know we will support your decision either way.
Resources we use:
Weather.gov (not .com) and enter the zip code for Mogadore into the bubble on the left side of the screen. I review the hourly details and compare these against actual occurrences in Mogadore. The National Weather Service provides a windchill chart I also review, however it is only a guide (remember we serve students K-12th).
What about the days we have been off and will we need to make up days???
Try not to overthink about this as winter is not over and safety is priority one! Ohio requires students K-6th to annually receive 910 hours of instruction* while 7-12th graders must have at least 1001 hours. By counting in hours and being creative we can sort any missed instructional time if we have to. For context, as of today (January 28, 2026) O.H. Somers has about 50.25 available hours while 7-12th has about 13.5 hours remaining before any minimum instructional hours concerns must be addressed. But remember, winter is not over and your children and staff safety is paramount.
*Included in instructional time: classroom learning, two parent teacher conferences, and two staff professional development days.
I hope this helps provide some context and we will continue to provide you updates.
Talk soon,
John
