I discussed this topic several years ago ("graduation" and "graduation"), but there have been several changes in my mind since then. There are some interesting points for discussion.

First of all, I would say that this is wrong if you have a gun and tell me that the word "high school graduation" is right or wrong. The current standard usage is that someone graduated from high school (1, 2)

It is important to note that in the 70's, "graduation" used in the past is different. The current trend shows that it is starting to be used in various ways. Language changes over time, "gradient" seems to be a moving verb

Let's go back to the past. In the early 20th century, traditional wisdom said school acted as a graduate. Therefore, the correct way to use "graduation" is to say that Johnny graduated from high school. This passive expression "graduate" is considered standard English.

Likewise, if you search for words such as "high school graduation" or "college graduation" in Google Book Search, it surely increases with the passage of time.

A prudent writer still says "Johnny graduated from high school", but sentences such as "Johnny High School graduation" are beginning to be more and more editors appearing and accepted.

You do not have to worry about saying you 'graduated' a university or other educational institution. There is another way to use graduates, this method still creates anger among some people, means "graduation" used to convey meanings ("I graduated from college this year ").
