Oasis Academy Class of 2026 to Celebrate First-Ever Grad Nite

For the first time in school history, Oasis Academy College Prep will host a Grad Nite celebration for its seniors. The Class of 2026 will travel to Disneyland next May to take part in the park’s Safe and Sober Grad Nite—an exclusive overnight event designed especially for graduating high school seniors.

Carrie Sheldon-Davis, parent of senior Zandar Sheldon-Davis, has led the effort to make this milestone event possible. “No matter the size of the class, every senior should be able to experience a Safe and Sober Grad Nite event,” Sheldon-Davis said. “My goal for these seniors was to celebrate this big milestone in the same way as others—in a safe environment surrounded by the kids they’ve known since kindergarten.”

This year’s senior class is the largest in Oasis Academy history, with 46 students set to graduate with their high school diploma and their Associates degree from Western Nevada College. Because of the class size, renting a local venue such as Coconut Bowl—estimated at around $12,000 for one night—was not a feasible option. Instead, the seniors voted in September to attend Disneyland’s Grad Nite celebration.

Students will leave early in the morning on a bus and arrive at Disneyland around noon, spending the day in the park before the exclusive Grad Nite party begins after hours. The event offers a night filled with thrilling attractions, Disney characters, music, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Seniors have already begun fundraising to make this dream a reality. “No senior will have to pay to attend this trip,” Sheldon-Davis explained. “As long as they participate in meetings and fundraisers, all expenses—including transportation, admission, meals, and shirts—will be covered. Senior year is already expensive, and we don’t want anyone missing out because of financial worries.”

The class’s first fundraiser, a raffle, is already underway. Each student is selling 30 tickets, with winners drawn during the Pink Out and Soak a Senior assembly held Oct. 16. All proceeds are split between the Churchill Community Hospital Foundation and the Grad Nite fund, reflecting the seniors’ desire to give back to the community that has supported them throughout their education.

Community members and local businesses are invited to help make Oasis Academy’s first-ever Grad Nite 2026 a success. Donations are tax-deductible through Oasis Academy’s 501(c)(3) status. For more information or to contribute, contact Carrie Sheldon-Davis at 775-857-7886.
