NHS Collar

• • NHS Collars are the property of HHS and you are allowed to borrow them.

  • You may borrow the collar and return it after the Graduation ceremony before you leave Hope College that night.

  • You may return it the next morning when you pick up your diploma.

  • You will not be allowed to pick up your diploma until your collar is returned.

  • If you would like to purchase a patch to keep and display at your open house or in another way, you may purchase them for $5 from Mrs. Goosen, in room 143, before Graduation day.

General Information about the NHS collars:

• • If the collar is dirty, you may wash it in COLD water and LAY FLAT or hang on a hanger to dry, do not use the dryer!

  • You may gently iron the collar to remove any wrinkles and make it look presentable.

  • Wear your collar with the seams on your shoulders, it will be shorter in the front than in the back.

  • You might want to pin the collar, from under your gown, to keep it in place and keep it from sliding around on your gown.

  • The NHS collar goes on first, then your gold stole and any then any honor cords you have earned.

    • You can watch the video under "What do I wear?" to see an example of this.
