Final Reminders:
1. No regalia that will distract from graduation (money and candy leis; etc) If you have something you want to wear that is cultural, please talk with Mrs. Larson or Mr. Whittaker for approval.
2. No Senior pranks. If you are caught in a senior prank, your privilege to walk in the graduation ceremony could be in jeopardy.
3. The doors at the Dee Events Center will open at 8 am. Students can begin to line up at that time. Students need to be in line by 8:30 am.
o Please take photos BEFORE the graduates line up. We are the first graduation of the day, so there won’t be a crowd.
o Tickets are not being distributed this year and there is no limit on the number of guests.
We are so excited for graduation!

Cap & Gown Info:
If you still need to purchase your cap and gown, you can through Jostens Website
We want to emphasize that graduation is a recognition of academic achievement. With their cap and gown, students may wear the following: school chords, pins, medals, and cowls that represent their accomplishments with school classes, school clubs, and school service learning opportunities. For this reason, we do not allow students to wear other items with their cap and gown during the graduation ceremony. Families are welcome to add items with a family or cultural significance for taking pictures outside the Dee Events Center after the ceremony. That being said H.B. 30 Student Tribal Regalia states: A student who is enrolled, or is eligible to be enrolled, as a member of a tribe (qualifying student) may wear tribal regalia during a high school graduation ceremony. Please contact Principal Whittaker for Tribal Regalia approval.
During the Ceremony:
Appropriate behavior is expected by graduates and their families. Noise-makers, signs, or distractions of any kind are not allowed as they slow down the saying of names and make it nearly impossible for every student to have the “moment” each graduate and family has earned and deserves. We have approximately 700 graduates and we anticipate that the ceremony will take approximately two hours.
