Graduation Day will actually span two days-May 20 and 21- this year for 13 Phoenix Union High Schools. Over 4200 students will receive diplomas.
Five schools scheduled for the traditional Thursday graduation had to move to Wednesday, May 20 at Glendale’s Jobing.com Arena after a Taylor Swift concert was booked on May 21.
