All Night Grad Party
The All Night Grad Party is almost here!
Click here to get your seniors ticket! This is a chance for your graduate to celebrate in style at the beautiful St. James while you relax at home, knowing your student is safely off the roads and in a drug and alcohol free setting.
We are also raffling off VIP seats to graduation. 10 sets of 8 seats will be raffled off–click here to buy your chance(s) to win!
Questions? Email Kirsten at woodsonangp@gmail.com.
Volunteers Needed For All Night Grad Party
Sign up here to volunteer at the all night grad party. It’s a Cavalier tradition that freshman, sophomore, and junior parents help out with the event to “pay it forward” for when their own kids are celebrating. It’s a really fun night and we provide free food, drinks, and coffee all night! If you can’t stay up all night, there are still roles you can help with.

As the 24-25 year draws to a close, the PTSO is in need of several volunteers for 2025-26. We are so grateful for our officers and other volunteers who have given many years of service and wish them well as their seniors graduate. The Woodson PTSO relies on parent volunteers to help build membership and fundraise, so that we can maximize our Fall & Spring Grant budgets for the student/teacher community. The PTSO also hosts various events for the teachers and staff that need support.
