Ahhhh, high school graduation season. Talk about bittersweet, right? Sweet in that it’s always nice to see graduates celebrating the closing of one chapter of their lives and the beginning of another. Bitter in that it feels like you can’t drive anywhere in the city without ending up in some gnarled traffic situation as throngs of capped-and-gowned young people wander around like tipsy kittens.

So! Here’s where each local public school¹ will celebrate commencement and when. Take note and plan alternate routes to your usual haunts.
