Important Details:

Graduation for 2012 is Tuesday, June 5. Students need to be at school at 6 pm. The ceremony starts at 7 pm.

We will have a professional photographer take a class picture at 6:15-these will be mailed to your home sometime during the summer. There is no additional charge for this picture as it was factored into the total graduation fees.

There will also be a professional videographer filming graduation. He will film each student as they walk in and recieve their diplomas and will record the entire ceremony.. DVDs are $10 each and will be mailed to your home during the summer. Order the DVDs on the Permission Form.

Students will receive their robes during graduation practice on Tuesday morning , June 5. Robes look much better if they are ironed. Please use a cool iron so the material does not melt! Robes do not have to be returned. Parent Teacher Club generously pays for these robes each year. It looks best when boys wear a dress shirt and tie under the robe because collars are visible. Also, slacks or dressier pants than jeans (for boys) and look best under the robe.
