GRADUATION EXPECTATIONS:

• ATTENDANCE AT GRADUATION PRACTICE IS MANDATORY! This means, if you do not attend graduation practice, you will NOT be allowed to walk at graduation. The date of this event will be announced when graduation dates are set by the Board of Education.
* Arrival time to Rupp Arena will be announced when graduation dates are set. You will be expected to arrive by the announced time in order to walk. Failure to do so will result in your name being pulled from the walking order.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER TO ENSURE THAT YOU WALK AT GRADUATION:
• Complete academic graduation requirements.
• Pay ALL delinquent and current year fees and return all textbooks.
• Make good decisions regarding your behavior during the last month of school.
• Attend GRADUATION PRACTICE on Friday, May 31st at 8:30 a.m.
• Follow the graduation dress code.
• Arrival time at Rupp Arena is 3:30 p.m. and the line will close at 4:00 p.m.! Traffic is always high
around Rupp Arena and everyone has to go through a metal detector prior to checking in for
attendance. So, allow yourself plenty of time. Upon entering Rupp Arena, you will be directed to sign in
before proceeding to your assigned side. If you are not checked-in by 4:00 p.m. your diploma will be
pulled from stage and you will NOT walk!
