Planning has begun for an amazing Senior Trip for the Class of 2026!

In the spirit of Project Graduation events that are offered by many high schools in the U.S. to provide a celebration free from drugs and alcohol, Desert Mountain PTO plans to offer an optional overnight trip for Desert Mountain High School graduates.

**FAMILY MUST BE REGISTERED ON DMPTO.ORG** 

The trip is planned to begin after the graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 21, 2026 and graduates would return early on the morning of Saturday, May 23, 2026.

This is the weekend of Memorial Day.

A $100 non-refundable deposit will be collected prior to Fall Break. If you haven't registered and made a PTO donation for the school year, you may do so prior to trip sign-up. Total cost of the trip is dependent upon ticket and transportation prices, along with the number of graduates attending.

Non-refundable deposit will increase to $150 after Fall Break. Sign-ups will close at the end of October.

Initial quotes from vendors this year are in the $400-425 per graduate range, which includes 1-day Disneyland/California Adventure hopper ticket and bus transportation.

The balance of the trip cost will be due in mid-February. 

Last updated on 9/13/2025. More details will be shared as they are available.
