Senior students must be seated in the CAIHS Auditorium NO LATER than 5pm. Students should plan to be on campus by 4:30pm. Please note that students should allow additional time as there is an increase of traffic on and around campus due to graduation. Students should park in the student lot as they would otherwise (between CASH and the baseball/softball fields).

Gowns should be removed from the packaging and hung to help decrease any creasing/folds that may have occurred in the package.

*Cap and Gown distribution will occur to Seniors after the Senior Breakfast on Tuesday, June 3 - only to those WITHOUT an obligation. Seniors please clear all obligations prior to this date so that you receive your cap and gown without delay.

What should seniors do after the ceremony?

The graduates must continue to walk out of the stadium or gym and walk directly to the location in CASH listed below to pick up his/her diploma. Graduates CAN NOT stop to meet family/friends and they should plan to do this after the diploma pick up.

(*Parents/Guardians - it is recommended to give your senior a meeting location for when they come out of CASH tat the end of the night to make it easier to connect - especially with all the caps and gowns!)

A list of the room assignments for seniors to report after the ceremony will be released prior to June 5 in an effort to expedite the process of having our graduates unite with family and friends outside.
