Graduation/commencement

Back to district wide handbook

High School 9-12

Students who have or will have successfully completed graduation requirements by the last day of the school year may participate in the commencement program and receive a diploma. Students who are one-half semester credit short of either the required courses or of the total credits required may also participate in commencement but will not receive a diploma until all graduation requirements are completed. Any student who is more than 1/2 credit short of either requirement is not allowed to participate in commencement.

Seniors are expected to fulfill all obligations prior to graduation. These obligations include, but are not limited to: returned textbooks, iPads and chargers, class fees, textbook fines, and negative food service account balances. Seniors with outstanding obligations will be notified of their outstanding obligations and will need to fulfill all obligations before they are eligible to participate in the graduation ceremony.

Seniors are expected to behave appropriately up through graduation. Inappropriate behavior could result in a variety of consequences, including their removal from the commencement ceremony.
