The [Dorman High School](/high-school-spartanburg-sc/) Class of 2026 will graduate on Thursday, May 21, beginning at 8:00 PM at Cavalier Stadium in [Spartanburg County](/), according to an announcement from Spartanburg School District 6. The commencement ceremony marks the formal conclusion of the school year for Dorman’s senior class and continues the tradition of outdoor graduation at the stadium that serves as the home venue for Dorman Cavaliers athletics.

Dorman High School, located in Roebuck within the Spartanburg County School District 6 service area, is one of the largest high schools in the Upstate. The school’s service area covers a substantial portion of the suburban and rural communities in the southern and eastern sections of Spartanburg County. Dorman’s football stadium, Cavalier Stadium, is a well-known landmark in the district and regularly hosts large gatherings for athletic events and community occasions. The outdoor setting provides the Class of 2026 with an opportunity for a large, visible commencement that accommodates extended families.

The 8:00 PM start time places the ceremony in the early evening, a scheduling choice typical for outdoor May graduation events in South Carolina that allows temperatures to cool from the afternoon heat. Families planning to attend should allow additional time for parking and seating as Cavalier Stadium fills for one of the Roebuck area’s most significant annual community events. Attendees are encouraged to bring comfortable seating for outdoor ceremonies, and families should verify current weather and seating guidelines with the district ahead of the event.

Spartanburg School District 6 serves students in Roebuck and the surrounding communities that include Boiling Springs and Dorman’s geographic attendance zone. The district operates multiple elementary schools, middle schools, and Dorman High School as its flagship secondary institution. District 6’s commitment to the graduating class of 2026 reflects a year of academic achievement and extracurricular milestones that will be recognized during the May 21 ceremony.

For the Dorman Class of 2026, Thursday’s commencement follows a senior year that spanned the 2025-2026 school year — a period during which Dorman Cavaliers students and athletic programs maintained their standing as one of the most competitive schools in the South Carolina High School League’s 5A classification. The Cavaliers compete in Region 3-AAAAA in football and across multiple sports at the 5A level, with Dorman regularly among the Upstate’s most prominent programs.

Graduation ceremonies for the other Spartanburg County school districts will be scheduled at various venues across the county throughout late May and early June. Families with students in other districts can find specific graduation dates and venue information through their respective district websites. Spartanburg District 6’s information is available at spart6.org.
