Each year the Project Graduation committee provides East Hampton graduates with an all night drug and alchohol free event following the ceremony. Your sitting fee, 100 percent of which will go toward Project Graduation, will help provide every East Hampton High School graduate with a fun, safe night that they will remember for years to come.

The event runs the Friday, Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 25, 26 and 27) at the Goff House, 2 Barton Hill Road.

In 2006, thanks to the vision of a few very committed parents, East Hampton High School formed a Project Graduation committee to plan an all night event following the graduation of our students each year. The make-up of our committee is always growing and changing, but the goal remains the same.
Our objective is to provide the graduates with a fun, safe, drug and alcohol-free night that they will remember for years to come. The plan is to host the event at a safe location, provide plenty of food, fun and a wide variety of activities and entertainment for the students to enjoy.


Thanks to the help of many dedicated fundraisers and party planners, our very first “Shine on All Night” celebration was held at the expansive Groton Submarine Base for graduating seniors in the Class of 2009. The first event was a fabulous success and was followed up with an equally successful celebration for the Class of 2010!

The committee meets in the East Hampton High School Library at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month during the school year.

Other fundraisers include Project Graduation's partnership with Stop & Shop’s A+ program.

Stop & Shop donates a percentage of any purchases on linked cards to our program.
