A change is coming to graduation ceremonies. The Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation announced that events will be moving to a different venue. This decision affects all school districts that previously held ceremonies at a certain stadium.

It is located near the original stadium, so ceremonies are not leaving the complex. Further details about this change are available, including the reason behind the decision, which is connected to scheduling demands.
