Every year, TAHS seeks donations for the Senior Graduation Lock-in event. The idea is for students to have a safe and fun last night with their class on graduation night. The lock-in event resulted after a tragic car accident that killed three TAHS graduates in 2008. The school and local communities brainstormed to find a safe alternative for the young adults who are graduating.
 
The event is held at the high school, starting with check-in around 10:30 p.m. and continues until sunrise, usually at 5 a.m. There are multiple activities for the students, including swimming in the high school pool, music, games, and of course food. The event is free to graduating seniors.
 
At the May 25 Rotary meeting, the Tunkhannock Board of Directors voted to continue the club’s yearly donation of $200 to the 2017 Senior Graduation Lock-in.
