  • Each student will be given ten tickets for the ceremony.  All of the tickets may be used if the ceremony is outside.  In the event that the ceremony is held inside, five blue tickets will be used to gain admission into the East gym and five yellow tickets will be used for overflow seating.
  • Graduates are required to attend practice on Monday, June 7 at 8:00 a.m. and Tuesday, June 8 at 8:00 a.m.  If a student does not attend a practice he or she is jeopardizing the opportunity of participating in the graduation ceremony.

  • boys must wear long dress pants, dress shirt and tie, dark dress shoes and socks, no sneakers
  • The graduation ceremony is a formal ceremony.  While it is a time of celebration of the students’ accomplishments, we do ask that everyone in attendance conduct themselves in an appropriate manner that will not detract from the ceremony or cause any student to have his or her moment of recognition be interrupted.  We do ask those in attendance to remain in attendance for the entire ceremony.
  • Handicapped seating is available on a limited basis for those who are unable to navigate the bleachers in the stadium or gymnasium.  To arrange for this seating, the principal needs to be contacted.  Handicapped seating is limited to the handicapped person and one other family member.
