Los Lunas Schools is excited to announce the graduation dates and end-of-year activities for the Senior Class of 2025. As our senior class members from Century High School, Los Lunas High School, and Valencia High School prepare to embark on their next chapter, we want to ensure that families and friends are informed of upcoming important dates and events.

Due to University of New Mexico’s athletics schedule and commencement ceremony, graduation for Los Lunas Schools will take place on Monday, May 19, 2025.

“We understand that holding the ceremonies on a Monday is a change for our school district community and want to provide commencement information in a timely manner so that our graduates and their families can prepare for this momentous occasion,” says Susan D. Chavez, Acting Superintendent of Los Lunas Schools. “Many factors were considered when selecting this date including the end of the school year, available dates given to the district by UNM, and senior class end of the year activities. We look forward to celebrating our seniors on May 19^th.”

Valencia High School:

• Last Day for Seniors: May 9, 2025
• Robing Ceremony: May 15, 2025
• Graduation: May 19, 2025, at 4:00pm at the UNM Pit

We encourage all families to mark these important dates on their calendars. The graduation ceremonies will celebrate the hard work and achievements of our students, and we look forward to honoring them in a memorable event.

Additional Information:

Further details regarding the graduation ceremony, including parking information will be provided as the date approaches. Please stay connected through our official website, Remind notifications, and social media platforms for updates.
