Frequently Asked Questions regarding the 2023 Fort Bend ISD GraduationsSome have asked why FBISD's grad ceremonies are at Mercer Stadium this year. The decision was part of ongoing cost-cutting measures. The cost to hold ceremonies for all 11 high schools at the Toyota Center is $616,000. The cost at Mercer is $250K.Other venues, such as Smart Financial Center, are costly and do not allow graduates to bring unlimited guests. The ceremonies are scheduled for 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. to avoid warmer temperatures, and water and other refreshments will be available at concession stands.Thank you for your continued support of this district.
