work day?! Every working person has to take time off to attend. That's ridiculous. Idaho high schools seem to pull off having those can't-miss events in the evening, so what's up, Utah?

Holy crap.

It's great. I'm not attending a graduation and the golf courses aren't busy.

My daughter went to a tiny charter school. Maybe 30 seniors?

Then you need to ask your question of the school administration.

Do Idaho schools do their graduations at the high school, or at college arenas?

kccougar is onto the answer. I just asked my wife that question (she is a parent rep for this sort of thing)

It's pretty hard to get potato ranchers to leave their fields at midday.
