§  You are required to attend graduation practice on Friday, May 31st, at 9 am in the stadium to participate in the ceremony on Saturday, June 1st.

§  Cap, gown, stole and appropriate dress are required to participate. Remember this is a formal occasion.

§  Remember it will be hot on June 1st so dress appropriately for the temperature.  Appropriate dress includes slacks and a light colored shirt for the guys and a dress or skirt and blouse for the girls. 

§  Appropriate footwear is essential for the long walk to the stadium and for that reason no spike or stiletto heels will be allowed for the girls.  A wedge heel or flat shoe with a small heel is safer and more comfortable.

§  No alterations are allowed to the cap or gown.  That means NO decorating or writing on the mortarboard.

§  Remember to have all fines cleared up before graduation or you will not be allowed to participate.  This includes fees for replacement student ID badges.

§  Cell phones, MP3 players, car keys, or any other valuables may not be carried during the graduation ceremony.  Please leave them with family or friends.

§  Any student who intentionally disrupts the graduation ceremony will be immediately escorted from the stadium.
