This policy reminds me of when my daughter was in 8th grade and the school had the students put themselves into groups of 4 for rooming for an overnight class trip. My daughter ended up with no group, crying in the principal’s office, and put in a room with “the leftovers”.

All of the HS graduations I have seen have put the students into alphabetical or size order (with those making speeches at the front for easy assess to the podium)… Missing HS graduation is no big deal in my opinion, put it behind you and move on. Remind your kid that starting college is the perfect time to “reinvent” yourself.
