Graduation is a ceremony and a time when a wide range of activities take place to honor our graduating seniors. The senior prom and family gatherings are a time for celebration and merriment. The graduation ceremony is just that - a ceremony. It is a time when students are recognized for the academic achievements that have led to graduation. The graduation ceremony is an important moment for every member of the class and for their families and friends. The behavior of our graduates should be respectful and appropriate. Please remind parents to leave outside food and beverage and noisemakers at home.

• Have passed all the required courses and earned 24 semester credits.
