Students and guests are strongly encouraged to ride together and must park in the assigned lots when arriving at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Drivers are asked to follow signs and direction of the parking attendants to make the event run as smoothly as possible. Uniformed parking attendants will be facilitating the parking for all HCPSS commencement ceremonies. If the assigned lots are full, the parking attendants will redirect guests. 

Please note:

• Parking lots will open 1 hour in advance of the ceremony start time.
• Please make every effort to vacate the parking lot as quickly as possible after a ceremony so that parking is available for the next graduation.
• Merriweather Lot 1, which is located just inside the Little Patuxent Parkway at Merriweather Lane is designated as ADA parking. Entrants must have a disability placard and/or license plate. Parking staff may direct vehicles to other marked ADA spaces if they are available.
• Guests with disabilities also may be dropped off and picked up in the identified area near the accessible seating (please refer to map).

Here is a map of Merriweather for Centennial’s graduation date and time.
