A Stage for Success: The OC Celebrates Classes of 2025

Graduation season reached new heights at The Keith Bell Opportunity Central (The OC) as the arena proudly hosted commencement ceremonies for Kaufman High School on May 16, Crandall High School on May 22, and both Forney High School and North Forney High School on May 23, 2025.

Each ceremony brought its own unique energy, but all shared one powerful theme — celebration of growth, achievement, and the exciting journeys ahead. Thousands of proud families, faculty, and friends filled the OC Arena with cheers and support as approximately 2,000 graduates took the stage.

A New Chapter for Grads — and The OC

The OC was designed for big moments, and this year’s graduation lineup proved just how impactful the space can be. With a seating capacity of over 7,500, large digital boards, private VIP suites, and custom staging and ticketing options, The OC provided a seamless and celebratory experience for every school district, graduate and guest.

From emotional speeches and music to proud processions and flying caps, each school brought its own spirit — and The OC brought it to life.

Your Graduation, Elevated

As The OC continues to grow as a regional destination for milestone events, we’re excited to welcome even more schools and communities in the years ahead. We’re now booking for 2026 and beyond — and we’d love to show you how The OC can create a graduation experience worth remembering.
