Allen High School is excited to celebrate more than 1,700 graduating seniors on May 26 at Eagle Stadium. Allen ISD and Allen High School have emphasized safety and security measures in the past in order to promote a safe and fun atmosphere for all attendees.

Additional details on the new bag policy are listed below, along with a high-level overview of the security measures that will be in place. Please know that as a matter of security, Allen ISD does not list every safety measure in place.

New Bag Policy:

Visitors to Eagle Stadium are allowed:

• A small clutch purse (clear or not clear) not exceeding 4.5" x 6.5"

And either:

• A clear (plastic, vinyl, or PVC) tote not exceeding 12" x 12" x 6", or

Additionally, Allen ISD will have security personnel on staff throughout the Stadium.
