Dropping the "from" has certainly become common, and is seen even in some fairly formal writing, but it is still not considered correct.

I admit to being old school, but when I hear graduate high school I immediately think "BIlly Bob is the first in our family to graduate high school".


Paul, thank you, thank you, thank you!

A public bulletin board/outdoors forum is hardly "formal writing".

So where do we find the rules of what is acceptable usage for informal writing?

I fail to see how "graduated High School" would raise an eyebrow in a place where fugg, schitt, and niqqer are commonly used.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
