Porter, Veterans graduations to be held at Sams Stadium

BISD

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — After much anticipation and delay due to inclement weather, the Brownsville Independent School District announced it will be hosting both the Porter and Veterans Memorial graduations at Sams Stadium.

Porter Early College High School commencement will be held at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the stadium, while Veterans Memorial Early College High School graduation will take place at 9 a.m. Thursday at the same place.

Severe storms on Sunday and Monday morning forced the ceremonies to be postponed.

BISD initially announced the ceremonies would be held at the Rivera Early College High School gymnasium. The decision to move the ceremonies angered parents due to limited seating. Students would only be allowed two tickets for their guests.
