SOUTH BEND — South Bend families will want to mark their calendars for the second weekend of June.

The South Bend Community School Corporation has announced plans for its 2023 graduation ceremonies.

Six celebrations will be put on over three days at Notre Dame's Compton Family Ice Arena in mid-June. The location is a departure from recent commencement festivities convened outdoors at the district's TCU School Field and Four Winds Field during the first years of the coronavirus pandemic.
