Other important info

  • Doors to the gym will be closed once the seniors enter- NO ONE will be allowed inside of the gym after that time. If people leave the gym they will not be able to re-enter for any reason.

     

  • Please remind parents/families/guardians/friends they are not allowed to give you flowers after you have received your diploma and walk off of the stage. If they get up and walk over to you, they will be asked to sit down. Please remind people attending that they will be asked to hold all applause until all names have been read.

     

  • Balloons will not be allowed in the gym.

     

  • Please ask your family and friends to NOT leave while the Ceremony is occurring. It is very rude for people to leave after “their” senior’s name is called. It blocks the view of others and interrupts the ceremony.
