Class of 2024!
Graduation
Our graduation ceremony will occur Sunday, May 19, at noon on Carstens Field. A live stream of the ceremony will be available on YouTube for those unable to attend the event. The video of our graduation ceremony will remain on YouTube for later viewing. There is no limit to the number of family and friends attending the graduation ceremony when it is held outside.
GRADUATION WILL BE OUTSIDE!
Graduation begins at noon; gates open at 11 a.m. and seniors, please be in the field house by 11:15 a.m.
Graduation is a formal event; as such, we strongly recommend that students dress in formal attire beneath their gowns. Because graduation will occur on the artificial turf surface on the football field, pointed heels are not allowed. Please consider wearing flats or wedge heels to avoid tripping and to protect the turf.
During the graduation ceremony, graduates must wear our official regalia: a purple cap with a white & purple tassel and a purple gown with a white stole.
- Graduates being recognized for various academic distinctions will wear gold regalia:
- Honors (cumulative 3.4 GPA and above): gold tassel
- High Honors (cumulative 4.0-4.39 GPA): gold tassel & gold cord
- Distinguished Honors (cumulative 4.4 GPA and above): gold tassel, gold cord, and gold stole
New This Year: Cultural stoles and other reasonable accessories celebrating a student’s cultural roots, ethnicity, religious identity, or military affiliation are permitted as additional regalia during the ceremony. In D99, “other reasonable accessories” include stoles, cords, and tassels. Graduation caps must be free from decorations. Adhering to these guidelines will ensure a uniform and respectful appearance during the ceremony. Students with questions regarding dress attire should contact Mr. Mirandola.
VIP will be at the graduation ceremony to take pictures of each graduate. These photos will be made available for purchase soon after the ceremony. Families will receive more details from VIP approximately a month before graduation.
Flower sales will be available at the graduation ceremony for those interested. These sales are used as a fundraiser. Orders can be placed here. Orders will be ready for pick up at the designated tent at the graduation ceremony.
