Graduation Dress Code-
Graduation is a special day that requires special, more formal attire. MHS requires all graduates to follow the graduation day dress code.
Dresses or skirts must not visible below the gown
Pants must be a dark color (ex: Black, Navy Blue, Dark Brown)
Shirts must be button-down white or light colored and have a tie
Shoes and Sandals must be of a dark color (ex: Black, Navy Blue, Dark Brown)
Sandals must have a back strap
Tennis shoes and flip-flops are not allowed
High heels and wedges are strongly discouraged due to the field turf
Does my skirt/dress have to follow the regular school day dress code?
No. The only requirement of your skirt/dress is that it isn't longer than your gown.
SHOES, SHOES, SHOES....
Yes
Navy is considered a dark color.
NO FLIP FLOPS!
Yes
These are brown and considered "dark" shoes.
Perfect!
These are acceptable. They have a strap!
White sandal
This is a great shoe, but wrong color. Dark shoes provide consistency and formality.
Stilettos???
While a shoe like this is super cute, we do not recommend. The heel sticks in the football turf and aren't safe on uneven surfaces. Check out the video below!
Don't let this be you!

What can I wear with my graduation gown? Cords? Decoration?
Seniors are allowed to wear any school related cord/sash. Seniors will often wear their academic excellence medals at graduation too. You cannot add any other decorations on the cap or gown. You will have to remove them before you participate in the ceremony.
