Cherryville High School Graduation Live Stream at 6 PM, May 22, 2026

Cherryville, NC (WNN) - The high school class of 2026 will be graduating today, May 22, 2026, across Gaston County. If you can’t attend the Cherryville High School Graduation, we’ve got you covered with our live stream, to begin at 5:30 PM. Check back here, on our Facebook Page, Instagram, or our YouTube Channel to see it yourself. 

In-Person Information

UPDATE: Cherryville High School posted at 2 PM on Friday, May 22, saying the Graduation Ceremony has been moved inside Starnes Auditorium due to inclement weather. Here is the full list of information:

• Each graduate will get 6 tickets for entry.
• We ask that any unused tickets be turned into Will Call upon arrival so that they may be used by other families. 
• Each adult may request two tickets each at Will Call on a first-come, first-served basis
• If you want to sit together, you will need to enter together as you will be directed to seats to maximize capacity. 
• You must be in your seat by 5:55 PM. The main doors will be shut and locked at 6 PM. 

Cherryville High School released a list of information for guests and students. This leaves a few policies to keep in mind. Gaston County Schools' no bag policy will apply here, so leave them in the car. They have three more requests to leave in the car: noise makers, presents for your grads, and umbrellas. None of these will be allowed through the metal detectors at the check-in point. 

Parking will be on First and Pink Street. Those with handicap needs are to be dropped off at the entrance to Rudisill Stadium, and this parking lot is not to be used. 

Streaming Information

You can join our stream as early as 5:30 PM, where we will air the senior shout-outs sent to us by friends, family, teachers, and community members. This will also include many of the photos and videos we’ve taken at Cherryville High School as a look back at the 2026 graduating class. 

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Allison Abernathy, a class of 1990 graduate, returning to show these graduates off to the world.
