Centennial HS Class of 2025 Updates

Dear Senior Students and Parents/Guardians,

This spring edition of the Class of 2025 Updates newsletter includes important information about prom, end-of-year activities, required senior tasks to complete before graduation, graduation practice, and graduation ceremony details. You'll also find information about special Class of 2025 celebrations at our elementary and middle school feeder campuses.

We'll share additional updates regarding the graduation ceremony and celebration details in the coming weeks as more information becomes available.

Seniors – Grades still count towards your GPA and will be reflected on the final transcript that will be sent to colleges. So let's finish your final quarter strong!

Centennial High School

Cap & Gown Pick-Up was rescheduled to Friday March 28th. Students will be able to pick up their cap and gown orders in the CHS Aux Gym from 12:15 - 12:45pm (advisory) on March 28th. You must have your drivers license or student ID to pick up cap and gown.

If you have not ordered your cap and gown at this time, go to www.jostens.com to order and your order will be shipped to your home.

To support our seniors and make payments more manageable, senior dues have been broken into four optional $25 fees in OSF, rather than one large lump sum in the spring. These dues help fund campus-based senior activities, such as Senior Field Day and other celebrations throughout the year.

🔹 Important Reminder: The full $100 Senior Dues must be paid to cover a prom ticket for your senior. (Guest tickets must be purchased separately.)

🔹 All fees are nonrefundable.

Thank you for your support in making this a memorable year for our seniors!

All prom guests must be a high school student and/or 20 years of age or younger at the time of the dance. High school students must be in good standing at their campuses. Middle school students are NOT allowed. All guests MUST have either a school ID or driver's license (if not in school) and be verified at the door.

If you plan to bring a non CHS guest make sure to fill out the Google Form in Online School Fees when you are purchasing your ticket. If you have questions about the non CHS guest form please see Mrs. Villarreal in the front office.

Prom is a special night for CHS students; we hope to maintain the integrity and formality of this special occasion by implementing a respectable and appropriate dress code. There are a multitude of beautiful, tasteful, and appropriate dresses, suits, and attire available for Prom. All event participants shall comply with CHS prom dress code guidelines as well as FISD Dress Code.

See Senior Prom 2025 Newsletter for more dress code information.

*May 22 and May 23 are Bad Weather Make-Up Days on the 2024-2025 FISD School Calendar

Graduation tickets and transportation information has been updated. Please see below:

Tickets: 12 tickets per graduate. Family and guests must have a ticket to attend. This year, tickets will be provided online through Hometown Ticketing. Tickets will be released to students after graduation practice. There will not be a system established by the campus for requesting extra tickets.

Transportation: Seniors will be required to ride the bus from Centennial HS to the Ford Center. A bus will be provided for students to return to campus following the ceremony, but students are encouraged to leave from the Ford Center with a relative or friend.

Live streaming: Will be available for home watch parties. More info will be posted on the FISD Graduation website in early May 2025.

Accessibility: If you or a family member requires an American Sign Language interpreter, please contact our campus secretary at severdil@friscoisd.org.

Dress Code: Dress code for graduation is simply to wear nice clothes under the graduation gown. Heels and wedges do not work well on the artificial turf, so flats and dress shoes are highly recommended (really anything flat will be allowed besides tennis shoes). Do not write or draw on your graduation cap! This is a FISD rule.

As elementary schools and middle schools in our feeder pattern begin to plan their Class of 2025 receptions and celebrations, they will be added here.
