General Instructions for students, Cap and Gown Info.
Students should plan to follow the general instructions below. Note - that the only items to be worn on the Caps/Gowns will be the Gold Tassle for honor students and the NHS cord. There is no other alterations permitted on the caps/gowns. *Students should be careful for footwear selection as if we are outside he/she will be walking on a soft turf surface which may make walking difficult if wearing a heeled shoe.
If students have not done so already - please remove the gown from the packaging and hang it to help decrease any creasing/folds that may have occurred in the package.
What should seniors do after the ceremony?
The graduates must continue to walk out of the stadium or gym and walk directly to the location in CASH listed below to pick up his/her diploma. Graduates CAN NOT stop to meet family/friends and they should plan to do this after the diploma pick up. (*Parents/Guardians - it is recommended to give your senior a meeting location for when they come out of CASH to make it easier to connect - especially with all the caps and gowns!)
Below is a list of the room assignments for seniors to report.
