Brigham Young High SchoolGraduation Program Collection

1904 to 1968

BYH graduation programs are rare documents. They are usually distributed to parents and others in the Commencement audience, but are not given to the graduates themselves.

The new grads are understandably focused on receiving their diplomas, and after the Commencement ceremonies and activities, they scatter to the four corners of the earth.

These programs are not official documents. Sometimes they include people who did not graduate, and sometimes they accidentally omit some who did graduate. Nevertheless, we have found that they are often more accurate than senior class photos in yearbooks.

If you possess a BYH graduation program that does not appear below, we invite you to send it in -- we would like to include it!

And the same invitation applies to those who have copies of graduation programs of our predecessor high school at Brigham Young Academy, 1876 to 1903.

The above page says "Brigham Young University" when in fact all of the names on the following two pages are Brigham Young University High School graduates.

It appears that a four-page portion of this program is missing. The traditional commencement program page listing speakers and musical numbers is missing. More than half of the BYH seniors known to have graduated that day are missing. The four known Brigham Young University graduates of the Class of 1908 are not listed. If you have a complete 1908 program, please share it with us.
