QUESTIONS?
This site will continue to be updated as we get closer to graduation and more detailed information becomes available. Please be patient. Most questions should be answered in the space below. 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.
Be aware that the picture here 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.
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 starting at 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM, Friday, May 15, 2026 at Senior Checkout. Tickets are given to graduates 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 TBA tickets for the bleachers.
(This number varies from year to year depending on the number of graduates, and this year has a BIG class. ) If you do not need all TBA bleacher tickets or if you are looking for more bleacher tickets, we invite you to reach out to each others through your personal networks and socials.
Anyone with a heartbeat attending graduation needs a ticket. (Yes, that means toddlers.)
Graduation will also be livestreamed via ETV,
so unlimited additional family and friends can watch online.
Remember: ETV Livestreams graduation so more people can participate in graduation.
The link is posted at the top of this page.

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.
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.

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.
Official diplomas and covers 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!
