Directions and Tips for our Graduates:

  • Wear your cap and gown, and remember your tassel, sashes, and cords (school issued).
  • Students may only decorate the top of their cap (the brim of the cap cannot be decorated and nothing should hang off of the cap). No other changes, decorations, or additions are allowed other than what is school issued (e.g. National Honor Society sashes).
  • Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be walking through grassy, unlevel areas, and stepping onto metal bleachers.
  • Bring anything you may need to help your cap stay on or keep your hair in place (bobby pins, etc.)

Reminders and Tips for our Parents/Families/Guests:

  • Please stay in your seat throughout the ceremony. We will mail you the professional picture taken by our photographer with the opportunity to order more.
  • Save any flower bouquets for your graduate until after the ceremony.
  • Please give the ceremony the dignity and respect it deserves by adhering to the specifications of the event.

All the Best,
Derek Adams
Principal
