🎓 Attention De Queen High School Class of 2026 Graduates

All graduates are expected to attend mandatory graduation practice on Monday, May 18 at 9:00 AM in the Leopard Coliseum.

At the conclusion of practice, each graduate will receive 8 graduation tickets. These tickets will only be needed if inclement weather requires graduation to be moved indoors to the Leopard Coliseum. Tickets will not be needed if graduation is held at Leopard Stadium (football field).

Please remember that every person entering the Coliseum for an indoor ceremony who will not be small enough to sit in a parent’s lap will be required to have a ticket for admission due to fire code regulations.

Graduates should report back to the high school Monday evening at 6:30 PM prior to graduation ceremonies.

If your family needs additional tickets, we encourage graduates to check with classmates to see if they have extras available. After speaking with our Leopard Family, we learned that most graduates plan to use all 8 tickets, so we do not currently have a reserve pool of extra tickets available.

Mr. Patterson birthday!
It is a favorite time of year for the Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) classes. Kindergarten students begin by drawing a creative monster on a piece of paper. The FACS students then take these drawings and turn them into sewing patterns. From there, they learn and practice a variety of hand-sewing techniques, including different stitches and attaching buttons. Once the monsters are brought to life as stuffed creations, the FACS students proudly deliver them back to the kindergarten classrooms, creating a special connection between the older and younger students.

De Queen Public Schools will celebrate the Class of 2026 Graduation Ceremony on Monday, May 18, at 8:00 p.m. at Leopard Stadium on Bill Blackwood Field. Due to the possibility of inclement weather currently in the forecast, we want to make families aware of our contingency plan in the event graduation must be moved indoors. If weather conditions require the ceremony to be relocated, graduation will be moved to Leopard Coliseum at De Queen High School. In the event of an indoor ceremony, each graduate will receive eight tickets for admission due to seating capacity and fire code regulations inside Leopard Coliseum. Graduates or their parent/guardian must pick up and sign for tickets in the high school office on Monday, May 18. If a family does not need all eight tickets, any unused tickets will be placed into a reserve pool and redistributed on a first come, first served basis. Families will be limited to requesting up to two additional tickets from the reserve pool. We also ask that balloons and other large items remain in vehicles until after the ceremony, whether graduation is held at Leopard Stadium or Leopard Coliseum, out of respect for families and spectators viewing the ceremony. An official decision regarding the graduation location will be announced through the district’s social media pages and website. The graduation ceremony will also be livestreamed on DQTV’s YouTube channel for family and friends who are unable to attend in person. We look forward to celebrating the De Queen High School Class of 2026 and this special milestone together. #LeopardPride
