Project Graduation
Project Graduation is an annual event hosted by the State’s Attorney’s Office for St. Mary’s County. Project Graduation has been the premier celebration event for St. Mary’s County high school graduates for the past 40 years.
In 1984, the State’s Attorney’s Office for St. Mary’s County established Project Graduation to provide students with a safe and fun way to celebrate their graduation achievements free from alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and vapes. Since the program’s inception, St. Mary’s County has not had an alcohol-related tragedy on graduation night.
At Project Graduation, graduating seniors and their guests experience an all-night celebration at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River with free food, music, and activities such as:
- Bowling
- Escape Room
- Basketball
- Obstacles course
- Swimming
- Movies
- Gaming Trailer
- Volleyball
- Bungee Run
Project Graduation is a success thanks to our community and allied partnerships with St. Mary’s County high schools, St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland State Police Leonardtown Barrack, St. Mary’s County Government, St. Mary’s County Rescue Squads, St. Mary’s County Health Department, Optimist Clubs of St. Mary’s County, the Navy, and numerous volunteers.
