SENIORS: Looking Your Best at Graduation

Gowns: Neatly pressed (use a cool iron or steamer, or hang up in a bathroom to allow steam from the shower to help the wrinkles fall out).

Caps: Worn straight on the head, the top of the cap should be flat, parallel to the ground.

Tassel: Worn over the right temple before a student graduates.

Graduate Dress Code: The faculty and staff of Scottsboro High School want to make your graduation a memorable experience. We ask for your full cooperation with the dress code. If you have any questions about the appropriate dress for the occasion, please check with Mrs. Bryant or Mrs. Linville. 

If you need assistance in obtaining appropriate clothing or shoes for graduation, contact Mrs. Bryant at robryant@scottsboroschools.net
