Caps & Gowns: Herff Jones was on campus to distribute caps and gowns during all lunches on Thursday, March 26th. We ask that all students hang their gowns and medallions to prevent wrinkling prior to graduation as they cannot be ironed.

Students who did not pick up their items last week will be notified of an alternative pick up next week.
Xello: Students must complete the senior survey on Xello by May 8th in order to be considered “cleared” for graduation.
