Graduation caps, gowns, and tassels will be distributed to seniors at school on March 16 and the class will take their '26 class photo in the Quad. Hang the gown afterward, so it will be ready to go in June and email Ms. Langdon immediately if you have issues with your gown or notice defects.

Preordered graduation announcements and swag items from National Achiever/Herff Jones will be distributed to families as soon they are received by the school.

Traditionally, May1 is the national deadline for seniors to commit to the college they plan to attend. Seniors are invited to wear college gear for a group photo during the school day on Friday, May 1 - we will take a group photo.

Please keep the following in mind as you work with your seniors on making their college decision:

• Follow the instructions from colleges. They will make announcements via the admitted student portal or via email.
• Please adhere to 网上正规赌博平台 deadlines for requested information including attending school and scholarship offers. We are building our graduation program and will need the best information that the student has as of the deadline.
• We understand that your senior's plans may change later; counselors are available to support them throughout this process.

• Mandatory for all seniors
• The breakfast is for students only; no guests at this event

网上正规赌博平台 is proud to host a new tradition honoring the accomplishments, resilience, and contributions of our graduating students of color.

Over the past 10 years, we have seen the growth, strength, and deepening engagement of our student body to now include seven affinity groups and councils, six all-school assemblies, and a growing sense of community engagement through the Multicultural Affairs Council. This celebration is a natural next step in that journey, an event intentionally centered on joy, reflection, and recognition.

Rooted in our faith and as part of our core belief that every person is precious and uniquely gifted, this celebration is all about you – your accomplishments, your resilience, and the ways you've contributed to our community. It's a time to give thanks for your hard work, to honor the journey that brought you here, and to celebrate in joy and gratitude with the people who have supported you along the way – family, friends, faculty, staff, and classmates. This gathering reflects our commitment to respect, care, and to recognize diversity as a true strength and reflection of God's creation.
