This year Southfield High, Southfield-Lathrup and Southfield Regional Academic Campus are splitting the cost of graduation three ways.
The total cost of all three graduations is $18,000, and each school is responsible for $6,000, says Senior Class President Erica Hayes.
The ceremony at Meadow Brook Pavilion in Rochester Hills is scheduled for June 3.
In past years the school district absorbed the cost of graduation ceremonies but not this year, due to budget cuts, Hayes said.
