Clayton County Public Schools has released its 2017 graduation schedule.

High school graduates will get their diplomas over a three-day period, May 24-26.

All 10 Clayton County high schools will hold commencement ceremonies this year at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park. In previous years, the district has held graduation at the Georgia Dome, which is being emptied and set to be demolished later this year.

Not to worry, Clayton Schools officials say there will be adequate seating and parking at the convention center, and guests won’t need tickets for the ceremonies. But there’s no saving seats for latecomers, so get to the ceremonies early.

Here is the full graduation schedule:

Wednesday, May 24

Thursday, May 25

Friday, May 26
