Ceremony Meeting

A mandatory on-campus meeting is held each spring for students participating in the ceremony ONLY — eligible students pick up cap-and-gown supplies and graduation tickets there. Each student receives a set number of tickets (one per guest); students can enter the ticket raffle during the meeting. Students who are failing or have unfinished CBE classes at meeting time will have items held until grades are passing and classes are complete.

Cap & Gown + Grad Trip

Cap & gown orders are placed through Jostens — costs and due dates are announced each year. A senior grad trip is offered each spring (limited spots).

The Ceremony

Graduation is held each May — venue, date, and arrival times are announced during senior year. Cap-and-gown photos are taken at the ceremony and can be purchased online afterward. Diplomas for those not participating can be picked up at the office after June 1st.
