After you read through the information on this page, if you still have questions, please email Heather Baker (Graduation Coordinator) at bakerh@carbonschools.org or contact the Main Office (435) 637-2463. 


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.)

Caps & gowns are ordered at the beginning of the school year and delivered in April.

Cost: Now through November 30, 2024: $35.95. 

Dec 1-Jan 31: $45.   Last Minute: $50.

To order cap/gown/tassel only, click here. Be aware that the picture on the website shows a solid blue gown, but the actual gown has white accents on it. Everyone wears the same gown. 

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.

TO DO:

ALL Credits must be complete (your counselor will help you with this).

ALL School Fees must be paid (including library fees).

ALL Attendance PRBs must be worked off/reconciled (see below).

ALL Citizenship U's must be worked off.


PRBs/Attendance Probation

If you have PRBs (Attendance Probation), you need to attend ATTENDANCE SCHOOL ASAP.  Each session costs $4 and needs to be paid in the Main Office when you sign up for attendance school. See the details in the document "Seniors on Attendance Probation."

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: Join the 2025 Graduation REMIND group! 

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.

           Text TO this number: 81010 (this is the contact/phone number)

           Write the RED code below in the MESSAGE box:

STUDENTS type @2025dino1 (this is the text message you send)

PARENTS type @2025dino3 (this is the text message you send)

You will be prompted to reply with your name and role (student or parent). Please use your first and last name. If you do not include your name, you will be deleted from the list. 


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. Clark (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.

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.

Tickets Are Required! (and FREE)

BUT, all student fees must be paid, all Attendance "PRBs" must be taken care of, and any "U" citizenship marks must be worked off before tickets can be picked up. 

Tickets will be given out between 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM, Friday, May 16, 2025 at Senior Checkout. Tickets are given to students only. If you can't be there on Friday, you can still check out and get tickets the following week, no problem!

Each graduate will receive at least 4 tickets. 

(This number varies from year to year depending on the number of graduates, and this year has a BIG class.)

                Anyone with a heartbeat attending graduation needs a ticket.  (Yes, that means toddlers.)

If you have any extra tickets that you do not intend to use, please return them to the CHS Main Office.

Graduation will also be livestreamed via ETV, 

so additional family and friends can watch online. 

Remember: ETV Livestreams graduation so more people can participate in graduation. 

The link will be at the top of this page.

Handicapped Access

There is limited parking available for those with handicapped tags.  For wheelchair access, there is space at the top of the bleachers. If you have special circumstances, please contact the school. 


Restrooms

Restrooms are located by the Main Gym (parking level) and in the Concession Building (track level).

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 in the gym before graduation starts. 

Information regarding professional photos will be provided at the top of this same website following graduation. 

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) - TBA

Tickets are on sale at CHS (people will be here every day during lunch selling tickets).
