- Final Exams, Early Dismissal 7-12 Grades 7-12
Dear Parents and Guardians of Graduating Seniors:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you this year’s graduation ceremony will be on the athletic field on Thursday, May 24th at 7:30 p.m. The graduating seniors will be seated in the center of the field and will face the grandstands where parents and friends will be seated. It is anticipated that the ceremony will last until approximately 9:30 p.m. Please consider the chill in the air at this time of year and dress very warmly and bring a cushion or blanket to separate you from the cold metal bleachers.
This will be a memorable occasion for the students and we ask that they attire themselves appropriately. The gentlemen are to wear dress slacks and shirts, socks and shoes. The girls are to wear dresses or a pant outfit and it is recommended that they wear low heel shoes since they will be walking on the grassy football field. Casual clothes will not be permitted. This ceremony is a school-sponsored activity and this dress code will be adhered to without exception.
There will be no limit set as to the number of guests you may invite, but please consider that there is limited seating in the grandstand. If it rains, the ceremony will be moved into the new gymnasium. In the gymnasium, the seating capacity is limited to 2,300 people. Consequently, only 10 guest tickets will be given to each senior. If the need arises, the admittance tickets will be given to the students on Thursday, May 24th.. Guests will present this ticket for admittance to the gymnasium ceremony.
Due to conflicts that have occurred in the past related to reserving seating in the stadium, no reserved seating will be allowed prior to 5:00 p.m. on the day of graduation. All blankets and items in the bleachers will be removed at 4:00 p.m. on the day of graduation. The parents of the top 10% ranked students will have special reserved seating on the track. The gates will be opened at 5:00 p.m. for the general public.
Graduation practice will be at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 23rd and at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 24th. All seniors must attend both practices or they will not be allowed to walk. These practices will be on the football field.
Graduation Lock-in for interested graduates and their dates and juniors and their dates will be after graduation at 11:00 p.m. in the high school.
If any student chooses to attend graduation activities under the influence of an intoxicating substance or engages in any inappropriate activity, then he/she will immediately be removed from the graduation ceremony.
I appreciate all you have done these many years in preparing your graduating senior for this stage in his/her academic life. You have truly done a wonderful job!
If you have any questions concerning these events, please contact me at 368-6328 ext. 870.
Respectfully,
Eric Harmon
Principal
