Communication:
EMAIL: Seniors and parents, be sure to check your email regularly for information about graduation. Mass communications may be sent out via Thrillshare.

Text messages related to graduation will be sent periodically. This is especially important for students planning to graduate early because their school email will be disabled. We encourage students AND parents to join the Remind text group - see the codes below.

Caps & Gowns
EVERYONE wears the SAME cap & gown - blue/white combo. (Even though it shows a solid blue gown on the Jostens website, the actual cap and gown is the blue/white combination in the picture to the left.)
To order a cap/gown/tassel ONLY (no package), call Molly Shaheen at 435-688-8409. Cost is $43. This combo comes with a tassel!
Caps & gowns are ordered at the beginning of the school year and delivered in April.
If there are seniors who don't plan to "walk" due to economic hardship, please contact the school.
DO NOT decorate your cap! Caps should all be PLAIN for the graduation ceremony.
(If you'd like to decorate it AFTER graduation, you are more than welcome to do so, but please do not embellish anything for graduation.)
CORDS
Cords are awarded for Honors (gold for GPA 3.5-3.74) and high honors (blue/white for GPA 3.75-4.0). Seniors who qualify for these cords will receive their cords at checkout when they pick up tickets.
Other extracurricular cords are given by clubs and organizations. Talk to your teacher/coach/counselor for information about those.
Dress Code
For Families: This is a formal/serious event marking a major rite of passage for students. Please dress accordingly to show respect to students and the event. We recommend best dress. (Please no spike heels - help us protect the expensive track surface!)
For Students: This is a formal/serious event. Dress to celebrate your success! Best dress = Clean and Neat.
Boys should have a collared shirt and your nicest pants. Girls may wear dresses/skirts/nicest pants.
NO flip-flops will be allowed (tacky).
NO spike heels (they can damage the track and sink in the grass of the field).
Bleacher Seating
Students will meet in the Main Gym and then enter the football field. Graduates will be seated on the track. Family and friends will be seated on the bleachers. Please be punctual. Seniors walk out promptly at 7:00 PM.
You are welcome to bring a blanket or stadium seats to put on the bleachers. Seats are only in the bleachers. Please do not plan to sit on the grass terraces. Young children need to stay with families. Please be considerate of those around you (sight lines, etc.) because everyone is there to see someone important to them.
Please do not bring food/drink into the stadium.
Restrooms are located by the main gym.

Diplomas
The Carbon High School Graduation is a very important ceremony. In order to reduce distractions and maintain the order and professionalism of the proceedings, we must clarify expectations regarding how this ceremony is to be conducted. Only individuals sitting on the stage and wearing graduation regalia will be allowed to hand out diplomas. This will include: Carbon High School Administration, District Administration, School Board Members, and Carbon High School teachers.
As is traditional, students will receive their diploma COVERS during the graduation ceremony.
Official diplomas will be available for pick up at the Concession Building immediately following the graduation ceremony.
Pictures
Students are welcome to take pictures while they are gathering/waiting before graduation starts.
Information regarding professional photos will be provided at the top of this same website following graduation. (Links, contact information, etc.)
After Graduation
The football field area will be open to students and families to mingle and gather for ONE HOUR following the conclusion of graduation ceremonies. Please feel free to mingle, take pictures, and celebrate during that time. You can also pick up diplomas and leave for individual family celebrations. Please be smart and safe!
Graduation Spectacular (Grad Spec) - Thursday, May 23, 8 PM - 2 AM
Tickets are on sale at CHS (people will be here every day during lunch selling tickets). $20 Presale, $25 at the door.
How do I know if I'm "walking" at graduation?
In order to participate in the graduation ceremony (or "walk" at graduation), in addition to having all the credits needed to graduate, all fees/fines need to be paid, all PRB's need to be taken care of, and all U's (citizenship) need to be worked off.
Check with Mrs. Stamatakis (senior counselor) if you have questions about credits or U's. See Lori Oliver in the Main Office if you have questions about fees/fines.
