MHS Senior Updates 🎓🎉

Dear MHS Seniors and Families,

Today was the final day of classes for our seniors and we are so excited to celebrate them over the next week, culminating in Milton High School Graduation on Sunday, June 2!

Below is a reminder of dates and expectations that all seniors and families need to be aware of. Seniors, proper behavior and attention to academics is expected at all times. Please do not jeopardize your participation in senior events.

Graduation will be held outside on Sunday, June 2 at 2pm on Brooks Field, Milton High School. If there is inclement weather, we will move graduation inside to the Copeland Field House. For anyone unable to attend graduation, a live stream will be provided by Milton Access Cable.

Here is the schedule for next week for seniors:

Senior Sign-Out

On Tuesday, May 21, seniors were given a sign-out sheet during their Advisory Period. During this past week, seniors should have had their sheet signed by the following personnel:

1. Each teacher you have had this school year – DO NOT go when teachers have a class in session
   
2. Your school counselor (AFTER ALL TEACHERS have signed you out)
   
3. Ms. Ellis- Library Obligations
   
4. Ms. Ellis – Chromebook and charger return (for those who were issued a school chromebook)
   
5. Ms. Perez – Food Service Room 101
   
6. Mr. Bierwirth or Ms. Conachy - Athletic Director's Office (whether you played a sport or not)
   
7. Ms. McCullough or Mr. Urso – Main Office (All books & obligations must be paid for or returned)
   
8. The last people to sign you out are the Vice Principals. The final signature will be that of Vice Principal Mr. Mackinaw or Vice Principal Ms. Tran at the Senior Lunch at MHS on Friday 5/31.
   

The school’s policy is strict—In order to participate in graduation ceremonies a senior must have successfully completed ALL graduation requirements and be cleared for graduation by Friday, May 31.

Graduation Rehearsals
All seniors must be at the full graduation rehearsal on both days – Wednesday, May 29 and Thursday, May 30. Report to the Auditorium by 8:30AM on both days. Enter through the Main Office doors.

Senior Walk Through/Clap Out

On Friday May 31, Seniors will meet in the MHS Auditorium at 8:30. Seniors will be bussed to Pierce and the four elementary schools to walk through each school and be celebrated by staff and younger students. Please wear your graduation gown and leave your cap at home. After the walk throughs, seniors will return to MHS for lunch, yearbooks and the final sign out!

Yearbooks will be distributed at the Senior Lunch on Friday, May 31.

Graduation Day
Seating: Seating for guests will be in chairs arranged on the field behind the graduates. Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis so plan accordingly. Gates will open at 1:00PM to guests.

Tickets: There are no tickets for guests and no limit as to the number of guests per student. This remains the same if inclement weather moves graduation inside to the Copeland Field House.

Parking: Parking is limited and we ask that graduates be dropped off no later than 12:30PM on graduation day. Carpooling or walking is strongly recommended.

Prohibited Items: Noise makers and balloons will not be allowed on Brooks Field during the graduation ceremony. Please convey this message to all family members and friends who will be attending the graduation ceremony. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Dress: Graduates, please dress appropriately. Caps & Gowns are provided by the school (at no cost due to the successful fundraising of your class officers!) and should have been picked up after school on Monday 5/20 or Tuesday 5/21 in room 107. Please address all Cap & Gown inquiries to Senior Class Advisors, Jennie Beliveau (jbeliveau@miltonps.org) and Kelly Conaty (kconaty@miltonps.org). In addition, graduates should dress for the occasion. Dress shirts with slacks/skirts or dresses are recommended. Please, no sneakers and no flip-flops.

Behavior: Graduates and guests are expected to behave appropriately:

• We will not tolerate rude displays such as calling out, beach balls, air horns, whistles, soap bubbles, etc.

• Balloons will NOT be allowed on Brooks Field.

• Smoking is prohibited on all school grounds.

• Your diploma may be withheld for inappropriate behavior or discourteous acts.

• Graduation is an important and dignified occasion. Please be mindful of the many families there to see their graduate and do not impact others' enjoyment of the day.
  

  
  

We look forward to celebrating your student’s graduation with you and your family on June 2!

Please note that Milton High School Administration does not condone any student coordinated scavenger hunt or “Senior Drive By”. On the contrary, we encourage our students to have fun in a safe manner that does not involve loitering, destroying, tampering with or taking other people’s property. The scavenger hunt is not an activity that is endorsed by the high school administration. Students are constantly reminded to be safe, have fun and to be good citizens in the community. We appreciate the reinforcement of this message at home.

We look forward to seeing you at these exciting events and celebrating all that you have accomplished in your four years at Milton High School!

Sincerely,

Karen Cahill

Principal
Milton High School
