Following the June 11 graduation ceremony, the Dayton High School Class of 2026 traded caps and gowns for one final night of fun at the DHS Boosters' annual Safe & Sober Grad Night celebration.

Open to all graduating seniors, the event provided classmates with one last chance to laugh, compete, and make memories together before heading off to college, careers, military service, and new adventures.

The night was packed with activities, including a cake war contest, human whack-a-mole, bull riding, henna tattoos, and even a magician who kept students guessing throughout the evening. Seniors earned raffle tickets by participating in games and challenges, all in hopes of taking home one of the many prizes up for grabs.

The biggest prize of the night? A $1,000 cash giveaway that had students eagerly collecting as many tickets as possible.

Congratulations to the Dayton High School Class of 2026! As these graduates begin the next chapter of their lives, Safe & Sober Grad Night provided the perfect opportunity to celebrate friendships, accomplishments, and the bright futures that lie ahead.
