GHEA offers an annual High School Graduate Recognition Ceremony for the members of our organization. This is a great opportunity to commemorate the completion of your homeschool journey in a formal way. 

Due to the expenses associated with this event, a graduation participation fee does apply. Additionally, due to facility space, we are able to accommodate a limited number of graduates on a first-come, first-served basis.

The 2025 ceremony was joyously held on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at Sunrise Baptist Church in Lawrenceville. The photo above is from 2025, while the photo below is from 2024.

GHEA provides the venue, ceremony, guest speaker, special music, slide show, programs, biography booklets, photographer, a rose for Mom, and a reception afterwards. We also supply a custom diploma in a diploma cover for parents to present to their graduate on stage. While GHEA provides the ceremony, it is the parents that graduate their children from their individual homeschools.

In addition to paying the graduation fee, parents confirm that they've complied with the homeschool law in Georgia, send a copy of their two most recent DOI forms, provide the cap and gown, write a biography for their graduate, and send in two photos for the slide show. (When registration is open, parents can download a packet of information and forms from our Member page).

If you have any questions or wish to be notified when registration for the 2026 ceremony is open, please email graduation@ghea.org.
