GRAD GOWNS - Grad Gown Order Form.pdf
Graduation gowns and caps are required to cross the stage.
The cost is $25 dollars and must be ordered.
Please contact the Guidance Office if you have any questions at 705-329-4537 ext. 42262.
What will you wear?
This is easy! All graduates wear black gowns and caps. They have a great appearance and save the expense of a new outfit.
We will be ordering "Souvenir Packages" this year, which means that students will keep both the cap and gown.
Graduation gowns and caps are available for order starting in January 2025! Please log onto school cash online to place your order and indicate your sizing. Please see the Guidance Office if you need a paper copy of the form.
No jeans please! This is a formal occasion and we expect our grads to be dressed appropriately.
