Graduation is a team effort.
The Senior Grade Level principal, counselors and secretary coordinate many senior activities, including ordering announcements and caps and gowns. The Registrar’s Office participates in this process by:
- Ordering diplomas
- Providing names of eligible graduates for the program and the photographer
- Designating seat assignments
- Directing the graduation ceremony based on district policy and grade level guidelines
- Ordering robes for faculty and district administration
- Ordering honor cords for the top 15%
- Safe-keeping of diplomas
- Providing similar services again for the summer graduation in August
Caps and Gowns
- Balfour Company contracts to provide caps and gowns for graduation.
- Details about this process can vary from year to year.
- Students will be advised as to what to do through a general assembly program.
- Online information can be found at balfour.com.
- Distribution of caps and gowns will be done in early May.
Graduation Ceremony
- Graduation is on June 1, 2013 at the Don Coleman Coliseum.
- The specific time rotates yearly… 10:00 a.m. , 1:00 p.m. , 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
- Students are to arrive one hour before the ceremony begins.
Diplomas
- Only one diploma is ordered for each student.
- Replacement of lost diplomas is not a service provided through the registrar’s office.
- Each senior is responsible to notify the registrar the correct spelling of his/her full legal name to be printed on the diploma.
Final Transcript
- All colleges require either a final transcript or verification of graduation. This transcript is sent from the high school to the university Admissions Office.
- Processing this final transcript is contingent upon a clear record (books, fines, etc.)
