Americans, Help Me!

So I am participating in Camp nano for the third time (with a word goal of 25k, even though I failed twice when my goal was 20k). So maybe I have a little bit of hubris this year.

Whatever, that wasn't the point. I am writing a story and in my second chapter my two main characters will graduate. And I am from Sweden and I have absolutely no idea how a graduation is in America. In Sweden we have something called "student" which is our graduation. But I would be forever grateful if someone could tell me about an American graduation. What do you do during the whole day? Any special rules or traditions. The characters are from San Fransisco if that even matters. It would mean a lot if someone could help me.

Have a nice evening/day everyone!
