I get that there are probably kids wanting to “graduate together”. But who cares? Do it like everyone else–alphabetical, random. I don’t care. Just set it up so nobody has to “choose”. You shouldn’t need “a date” to graduate from HS. That’s just ridiculous. Our HS did alphabet–at least you knew who to look for and when.

As others I usually say “go to the ceremony” but if it’s causing angst then go out to dinner and have fun. Have her friends over and party. Celebrate one way or another. Open the grad gifts.
Get some pictures! She can still get the cap and gown and you all can take pix–that’s a lot of fun whether she walks with her class or not. Sort of like pre-prom pix. Invite her friends for pre-pix too.
