Seniors! The first day of graduation practice is Thursday, May 19th at 8:30 am in the Field House. Do not wear your cap and gown. If you are planning on walking at graduation, practice is required. Please do not be late! Please take your red cap and gown out of the plastic and hang it up. You can steam it to get rid of the wrinkles, but do not iron it. Since we are all wearing red this year, you can wear any color under your gown. This is a formal ceremony, so clothing should resemble that. Dress slacks, dresses, dress shoes (NO HEELS), dress shirt, ties, or a combination of are all recommended. On the first day of practice you will sit up in the Fieldhouse bleachers until we put you in order. We will be done with practice on both Thursday and Friday by no later than 11:00 o'clock. Graduation practice takes as long as you cooperate; if you show up on time and you listen, you will get out sooner. We will see you Thursday at 8:30am!
Don't forget tomorrow is TAP/Awards Day at 9:00am in the field house! Seniors need to come dressed in their cap and gown to the Jack Stephens gym by 8:30am. Family and friends are welcome to attend and celebrate in the recognition of our students' hard work these past 4 years.
On May 26th Michelle Nabers from WVUP will be in the library to help get students registered for dual credit courses for next school year. If students are applying for an early college need based scholarship they can turn those applications in at that time as well. Scholarship applications are located at the following website https://www.wvup.edu/future-students/high-school-students/early-college/

Only registered licensed vehicles are permitted in the parade. All vehicles will be checked coming into the horseshoe and leaving for the parade for compliance. There will be no exceptions to these rules.
Students may decorate their cars in the horseshoe prior to the parade.
The parade will leave the horseshoe, go down Washington Ave., down through and around the park, and then back up Washington Ave. The parade will finish in the back parking lot when at that time the Chill N' Grill in the Stadium will begin. You can leave the Chill N' Grill at anytime, but you can not return if you do. At anytime the normal process of school is disrupted, or any other student violation occurs, those Seniors involved will not walk at graduation. We look forward to a wonderful day tomorrow, so please enjoy it!
Tomorrow before the parade the counselors will have a table out front with a list of students being recognized at the awards ceremony as well as cords for dual credit. Students who took 12 hours or more of dual credit courses through WVUP will receive a cord.
