All students must have passed ALL of the required courses for graduation and ALL fees must be paid or have a payment plan in place before being allowed to walk at graduation.
No! All senior activities are optional EXCEPT Senior Project Night. If you choose to participate in the Commencement
ceremony, however, the rehearsal and senior assembly are then required. There are no exceptions! We recommend that you do participate in as many events as possible, especially the Commencement ceremony. Graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Yes! Admission to graduation is by ticket only, one ticket per person. Tickets will be available in the main office beginning
Tuesday, May 28. Seating in the auditorium is available for those who find bleachers difficult to navigate. The auditorium
will show the live simulcast of the commencement ceremony.
At the rehearsal you will learn and practice the ceremony. You will only need to know your row and seat number when you
come that morning. We will post this information on the windows of the courtyard in advance. At the very end of
the rehearsal you will receive instructions in writing for the Commencement ceremony. This will include where to park, what
to wear, what not to wear, what time to be there, where to assemble, and all-night party information.
You must wear your cap and gown. This is a very formal assembly and we expect all of our graduates to look
appropriate. Regular school clothes under the cap and gown usually work just fine. Do not wear shorts and a t-shirt. They
would look very inappropriate. Adornments or decorations are not allowed on the cap and gown, and you will not be
allowed to wear sunglasses or carry anything with you.
Boys: Slacks, shirt (with collars preferable), shoes Girls: Skirt and blouse or dress
Due to safety and stairs, no flip flops or shoes without backs.
No! The All-Night party is sponsored by the Parent Club and is secure. This means that no graduate may
leave early or arrive late. Everyone is bussed to the party, which is held at a secret location; you will be
picked up at Glencoe. You will ride the bus back to Glencoe the next morning.
Diplomas are mailed to graduates during the last week of June. During the commencement ceremony,
graduates receive only the diploma cover. The school will verify that all fines and other charges have been
paid and that all required credits have been earned before the diplomas are mailed. Be sure all of your fees
are paid and we have your correct mailing address before you leave for the summer.
If there is any special circumstance that the people in charge need to know about, that information should be directed to Ms. Heller, Office Manager. This includes such things as accommodations for hearing impaired or wheelchair bound relatives, special physical requirements of a particular graduate, and other similar circumstances.
You are not allowed to carry anything into graduation.
Your hands and pockets must be empty.
