The Plymouth Whitemarsh High School Class of 2026 will cross the stage one hour earlier than planned tonight, with the ceremony bumped up to beat a weather forecast that looks, well, soggy. The original 6:00 p.m. start at Colonial Field has been pulled forward to 5:00 p.m. so 406 graduating seniors and their families can get through pomp, circumstance, and a few hundred selfies before the sky decides to participate.
For the parents already juggling work shifts, sitter logistics, and the cousin flying in from out of town, an hour can feel like a lot. Plan accordingly. The school district announced the change Tuesday afternoon via MoreThanTheCurve.
Worth noting on a brighter front: PW's Odyssey of the Mind team placed third at the 2026 World Finals, a result that adds a little extra shine to a Class of 2026 sendoff. Bring the umbrella, leave time for traffic, and try to get there before the first thunderclap upstages the keynote.
