I really like my dad as well as love him, but he definitely is a bit on the Grinchy side.
To my dad, this is a mix of spoiling a kid and making too much of what he considers a basic educational expectation. In my immediate family we never celebrated a high school graduation as it just wasn't seen as a big deal.
I have a better relationship with my dad than my sister (the mother of the graduate) does. When he brought it up to me again I basically said that he can think what he wants/needs but it wasn't any of his business: Not his kid, not his money, not his time. The "not his money" part in particular made him relax a bit.
I just hope he keeps quiet when he and my mother stay with my sister's family during graduation weekend.
