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 2024! 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.
