Sober Grad Night 2025 will be Friday, May 30.

Please contact sobergrad@westparkboosters.org with any questions. Follow us on Instagram @westparksobergrad.

Sober Grad Night is a program developed by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in 1985 in response to the large majority of graduating seniors who were celebrating their completion of high school with unsupervised parties where alcohol was being provided and consumed. With this in mind, the Sober Grad Night committee is planning a fun and supervised sober graduation celebration for all West Park High School graduating Seniors. We are excited to celebrate the Class of 2025 and make their Sober Grad Night a night to remember.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SOBER GRAD NIGHT 2025

DUE TO THE LATE GRADUATION START TIME, WE WILL BEGIN BOARDING BUSES AT 9:30PM, DEPARTING AT 10:00PM!

Please read this carefully with your student to ensure that he/she understands what the expectations will be. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to these requirements and students will be dismissed from the event if they do not comply.

  1. Please have your student bring a change of casual clothes to change into after graduation. Bathrooms will be opened and available for students to change. Your student WILL NOT have time to go home to change since we are leaving campus a half hour after graduation.
  2. Each student WILL BE checked before they board the bus by a committee member and/or chaperone to ensure we have a safe and fun SOBER Grad Night. Your student will only be allowed to bring a phone, charger, earbuds and necessity items such as lip balm or glasses. If he/she cannot carry any items in their hands, they will be asked to give the item to the adult chaperone assigned to their bus for safe keeping during the duration of the event. The item(s) will be the responsibility of the student to retrieve his/her item(s) from the chaperone at the end of the event. Drawstring bags will be distributed as your student gets on the bus, so they will be able to drop their items into this bag after being checked.
  3. If they need to bring a small bag with them for medication, please make sure it is CLEAR and LABELED with his/her full name. They will be expected to be responsible for their own bag unless asked to give it to their designated chaperone for safe keeping.
  4. Boarding of the bus will start immediately after graduation concludes, at 9:30PM. We will depart at 10:00PM SHARP! If your student is not checked in and seated on the bus at that time, he/she will miss out on the event. 
  5. Please have someone pick up your student when we return from the Berkeley Pier early Saturday morning at APPROXIMATELY 5:30-6:00 AM . Your student will be exhausted and should NOT drive home. 
  6. Please inform your student that he/she will be on the ASSIGNED BUS for the departing and return trips. There will be no changes to seat assignments!

We hope that your student has a fun filled evening and appreciate your partnership in ensuring these requirements are met and followed. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us directly. 

Thank you and congratulations on your student’s graduation. Go Class of 2025!
