Prior to the 1988 graduation, Carlsbad had five alcohol related fatalities throughout the year that involved high school students. Through the vision of founder Judi Waters, and the work of our entire community, Class Act was formed in 1989 to provide a safe place for seniors on graduation night. Class Act welcomes all graduating seniors in Carlsbad, including Carlsbad High School, Carlsbad Early College High School, JMA, Carlsbad Enrichment, Paradise Academy, Home School, and any other learning institution or program. With a yearly budget of over $90,000, Class Act provides a HUGE party for 400+ seniors and their guests. Party Night consists of a DJ, dance contests, karaoke, bingo, video games, inflatables, movies, a casino, all you can eat food, tons of prizes such as MacBooks, Tv's, cash, etc. Class Act also gives scholarships annually for both traditional colleges/Universities and trade schools.
