Commencement Ceremony Eligibility
If a student fulfills graduation requirements by the end of the last term of their senior year, they may participate in commencement ceremonies.
Commencement Ceremony Requirements:
Each participating student has to attend commencement ceremony practice in order to know what to do during this important ceremony. Each student who participates will purchase or rent the proper cap and gown as designated by the school administration and the class advisors.
Caps and gowns will be worn in the proper manner as designated by the school administration and class advisor.
Each student who participates will be expected to cooperate with the class advisor and to participate in all parts of the commencement ceremonies.
Participation in the ceremony of commencement is a privilege, not a right. Seniors who have been disruptive in assemblies/activities, or who have been involved in vandalism/pranks may be denied participation in graduation ceremonies. (Board Policy #1430)
Failure to comply with the above requirements will automatically forfeit a student’s privilege to participate in the commencement ceremonies.
Students who fall short of graduation requirements might still participate in the commencement ceremony by creating a contract with administration ensuring completion of requirements by June 30th, of that same year.
